Case: Individual Employment Rights/Arbitration (Cal. Ct. App.)

The California Court of Appeal affirmed a trial court’s decision to partially grant CJ 4DPlex America, Inc.'s motion for preliminary injunction requiring their former in-house counsel to return confidential company documents he retained after employment, and partially deny the counsel’s motion to compel arbitration on claims related to post-employment conduct, finding that the arbitration agreement contained a carveout permitting parties to seek equitable relief in court and that the company was likely to succeed on claims of conversion, negligence, and breach of duty of loyalty.
