Ed Bertholet & Associates, Inc. v. Stefanko

690 N.E.2d 361 (1998)

Facts

Stefanko (D) entered into an employment contract with P to work as a bail bondsman. This contract included a covenant not to compete that provided for an injunction in the event of a breach of the covenant. D voluntarily quit working for P and soon began working as a bail bondsman for a local competitor. P filed suit to enforce the covenant not to compete and sought a restraining order and injunction. The trial court denied the petition for a restraining order and preliminary injunction; P failed to demonstrate irreparable harm. P appealed.
