Supreme Court of Alabama

Craneworks, Inc. v. Rpm Cranes, LLC, and Muhammad Wasim Ali Russell Brooks v. Rpm Cranes, LLC, and Muhammad Wasim Ali

June 16, 2017239 So. 3d 561

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court reversed the Jefferson Circuit Court’s permanent injunction against former RPM employees and CraneWorks, holding that the trial court erred because RPM failed to demonstrate a valid non‑competition agreement, a protectable interest, and an inadequate legal remedy, and because the injunction was overly broad and failed Rule 65(d)(2) specificity. The Court applied de novo review and remanded for further proceedings.
