Key Principle

Springboard relief is available only to prevent future economic loss to a former employer caused by ex-employees taking unfair advantage of a serious breach of their obligations, where that unfair advantage still exists at the date of the application and would continue unless restrained; it is not available where there are no enforceable post-termination restrictions and no fiduciary duties, and the alleged conspiracy or wrongdoing is not made out on the evidence.
