The court refused the interlocutory injunction because the plaintiff lacked a strong prima facie case (the confidentiality clause was overbroad and not particularised; the Employee Agreement's enforceability was doubtful due to boilerplate form and lack of consideration), evidence of solicitation of customers and suppliers was weak or absent, the three‑year restraint was unreasonable for at least the 2nd defendant and arguably weak for the 1st, and the 15‑month delay plus the adequacy of damages and balance of convenience favoured the defendants.
