1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg Law · Jun 22

A New York federal district court granted Rood, Riddle and Partners a preliminary injunction against a veterinarian over alleged breaches of non-compete and confidentiality terms.
The court said the company was likely to succeed on its breach-of-contract claim and had shown irreparable harm through potential loss of client relationships and goodwill.
The ruling also found the restrictive covenants reasonable in scope and duration, clearing the way for temporary enforcement while the case proceeds.
