- Court
- High Court
The interim non‑competition injunction was intended to prevent direct competition; limited additional restraints (no direct contact with installers/customers, no shop floor involvement while open, scripted transfer responses) were imposed by consent; Ms Jobe was not found in contempt because a contempt finding was not necessary to uphold the Court's authority; solicitor‑client costs were refused and costs awarded to Carpet Barn on a 2B basis; extension of the restraint period was refused.
