Court struck out the 2nd defendant's claim in its entirety and struck specified paragraphs and reliefs because the Amended Statement of Claim failed to plead material facts against the 2nd defendant (speculative inferences, lack of particulars) and the sole remaining monetary claim against her (non-compete) fell within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Labour Tribunal; conspiracy and causing loss by unlawful means were inadequately pleaded and struck out; certain restrictive covenant and confidence claims against the 1st defendant survived as fact-sensitive and arguable.
