Mcnamara v. Dav-El Services

In 1995, the defendants purchased a limousine business from the plaintiffs pursuant to an asset purchase agreement. At the same time, the plaintiffs executed employment contracts with the defendants. The employment agreements contained restrictive covenants which, inter alia, precluded the plaintiffs from participating in any business providing limousine services in any state in which the defendants conduct business for three years after termination of employment. The plaintiffs commenced this action alleging that the defendants breached the employment agreements and seeking damages as well as a declaration that the restrictive covenants were unenforceable. The defendants asserted various counterclaims and now move for a preliminary injunction. The parties have resolved certain issues, however, the defendants seek an order enjoining the plaintiffs from soliciting customers and engaging in the limousine business.
