High Court Injunctions Faced by Employees
Employment Law Solicitors Fox Whitfield has just successfully advised a number of employees facing High Court Injunctions.
A team of 15 employees were moving to a new employer when their ex-employer applied to the High Court for substantial damages against the key employees caused by the team move. They also applied for a High Court injunction to prevent them joining their new employer for a 12 month period. The case was listed for a 10 day trial before one of the Country’s leading employment judges.
After substantial work in a very short period of time employment law solicitors Fox Whitfield was able to settle the case without going to Court. The terms of settlement are confidential but Fox Whitfield was able to ensure the employees were freed from any injunction and able to join their new employer.
