Kentucky Court Denies Comfort Systems Injunction After 2.5-Month Delay
1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg Law · Aug 17
Summary
A Kentucky federal judge refused to preliminarily block three former Comfort Systems USA employees from working at AHM Bowling Green LLC.
The court said Comfort Systems likely showed breaches of non-compete agreements and possible trade-secret misuse, but its 2.5-month wait to seek relief undercut any claim of irreparable harm.
The denied motion targeted a former executive vice president, a sales representative and a piping estimator who had joined the competitor.
The ruling leaves Comfort Systems without immediate injunctive relief even as its underlying contract and trade-secrets claims can continue.
