Monday opinions
Indiana Court of Appeals
MED-1 Solutions, LLC, et.al. v. Jennifer Taylor and Health Care Claims Management Inc.
24A-PL-450
Civil plenary. Affirms Marion Superior Court Judge Heather Welch’s denial of the RevOne Companies’ motion for preliminary injunction against a former employee, Jennifer Taylor, from working for a competitor based on several non-competition agreements Taylor executed during her employment. Finds that where an at-will employee signs a non-competition agreement as a condition of their hiring and is later told to sign a new non-competition agreement or they will be fired, the employee’s continued employment can serve as consideration for the latter agreement. Also finds RevOne failed to demonstrate that Taylor took or threatened to take their confidential information. Finally, finds the trial court did not err in concluding that RevOne failed to show a reasonable likelihood of success on their claim that Taylor breached the non-disclosure provision. Attorneys for appellants: Sean White, Ian Keeler. Attorneys for appellees: Daniel Burke, Ryan Hurley, Brian Paul, Elizabeth Charles.
