Supreme Court of Arkansas

Apprentice Information Systems, Inc., and David Randall Lamp A/k/a Randy Lamp v. Datascout, LLC

April 26, 2018544 S.W.3d 39

Summary

The court denied DataScout's motion to dismiss and reversed a permanent injunction entered against AIS after the liability phase of trial. It held that AIS, a private corporation, could not be sued alone under the FOIA; DataScout failed to prove a sufficiently specific business expectancy for its interference claim; and the ADTPA did not authorize private injunctive relief. Because none of the asserted grounds supported injunctive relief, the injunction was an abuse of discretion.
