SUPREME COURT
EMPLOYMENT – SPRINGBOARD RELIEF – RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS
In the first decided case in Bermuda on the developing area of ‘Springboard’ relief, the Court granted the Plaintiff Company ex parte injunctive relief against a group of former employees who had resigned in concert from the Plaintiff and, it was alleged, had taken confidential information with a view to assisting a competing business.
The Plaintiff sought and obtained various injunctive orders, including that the Defendants deliver up material taken, be restrained from use of confidential information, honour their contractual restrictive covenants, and provide sworn evidence answering the allegations.
