• Asbury MS Gray-Daniels, L.L.C. v. Daniels

  District Court, S.D. Mississippi · 2011-08-22 · cited 2×

  The case involved plaintiffs Asbury MS Gray-Daniels, L.L.C. and Asbury Automotive Arkansas, L.L.C., who purchased a car dealership from sellers including defendant Noel E. Daniels under an Asset Purchase Agreement containing a non-competition clause restricting Daniels from working for competitors within a 50-mile radius for up to five years after the closing or one year after his employment ended. Daniels left his employment with the plaintiffs and began working for a competing dealership in the restricted area shortly thereafter, prompting the plaintiffs to sue for breach of contract and related claims and to seek injunctive relief. The court granted the preliminary injunction after finding that the plaintiffs established a substantial likelihood of success on the merits, a substantial threat of irreparable injury, that the balance of harms favored them, and that the injunction would not disserve the public interest, applying New York law to uphold the reasonableness of the covenant's time and geographic limits without modification. The decision was based on undisputed facts showing Daniels' employment violated the clause's terms and on the agreement's provisions treating breach as causing irreparable harm.
