ABBA Rubber Co. v. Seaquist
California Court of Appeal
235 Cal. App. 3d 1 (1991)
- Written by Rich Walter, JD
Facts
ABBA Rubber Company (ABBA) (plaintiff) sued its founder and former employee, Roy Seaquist (defendant), for misappropriating trade secrets that included ABBA’s list of customers. The trial court granted ABBA’s motion for a preliminary injunction barring Seaquist from soliciting business from ABBA’s customers, from whom Seaquist annually derived an estimated $315,000 in sales. The court conditioned the injunction on ABBA’s paying a so-called undertaking of $1,000 as security. Seaquist appealed to the California Court of Appeal, where he challenged both the injunction’s vague scope and the inadequacy of ABBA’s undertaking.
