A New York State appeals court ruled that a preliminary injunction against a former Aon employee accused of poaching clients can remain in place as the case proceeds.
In a Jan. 10 ruling, the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, first Department issued a ruling keeping a Sept. 21, 2012 order in place granting insurance-broker Aon a preliminary injunction against Peter Arkley and other former Aon employees.
The court ruled that Aon has standing to bring its allegations in the New York court and says Arkley's purpose to seek dismissal is “to avoid his contractual obligations.” The court also says that Arkley's actions demonstrate that when “not subject to formal judicial restraint, [he] has been inclined to solicit Aon's employees and customers, in addition to making apparent use of its proprietary and confidential information.”
