JURY VERDICT REINSTATED

After a four day jury trial, Business Communications, Inc., represented by Brunini’s Steve Carmody won a unanimous jury verdict enforcing a covenant not to compete against a former employee who violated the terms of his employment agreement by going to work for a direct competitor. The Circuit Court Judge overturned the jury verdict upon motion by the plaintiff. The Mississippi Court of Appeals reversed the trial court’s action and remanded the case to the trial court to rule on BCI’s attorneys' fees motion.  The Court of Appeals recently ruled on a motion for rehearing, denying same. Congrats to Steve Carmody and Chris Fontan who worked on the appeal.
