Atlanta, GA – Cantrell Schuette successfully obtained a denial of a preliminary injunction in a high-stakes commercial dispute involving alleged breaches of restrictive covenants and competing rights to a proprietary product. The firm’s litigation team was led by Jordan Behlman, partner and chair of the firm’s Commercial & Franchise Litigation Practice Group.
The plaintiff sought emergency relief to prevent the defendants from selling and leasing certain units, claiming violations of contractual restrictions and irreparable harm. The case presented complex issues of contract interpretation, course of performance, and disputed ownership rights.
The Court denied the motion, finding that the plaintiff failed to establish a substantial likelihood of success on the merits. In its ruling, the Court emphasized that the parties offered competing interpretations of the governing agreement and that key factual disputes – particularly regarding the scope of the restrictive covenants and ownership rights – could not be resolved at this preliminary stage.
As a result of the decision, Cantrell Schuette’s clients can continue their business operations without interruption and marks a significant early victory in the litigation.
