AI summary
The High Court in Johannesburg considered an urgent application by Ortho-Xact (Pty) Ltd to enforce restraint of trade, confidentiality and non-solicitation obligations against a former employee and a related company. The court found that there were genuine disputes of fact, including about consent, termination of the Services Agreement, and protectable interests, and dismissed the application.
This appears to concern restraint of trade enforcement, confidentiality and arbitration issues in an employment and services agreement context.
