inTEAM Associates, LLC v. Heartland Payment Systems, LLC

Summary

The Supreme Court held that the Court of Chancery exceeded the limited scope of the remand by vacating an injunction against Heartland that had already been affirmed. The court reinstated the injunction for the period it was operative and remanded for resolution of inTEAM's rule to show cause concerning an alleged violation. The court otherwise affirmed the rejection of Goodman’s affirmative defenses, concluding that Heartland’s lack of knowledge of the breaching conduct defeated them and that the statute-of-limitations defense was waived.
