March 25, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 42 MEMORANDUM ORDER granting in part and denying in part #16 Motion for Preliminary Injunction. For the reasons set forth above, the Court grants Orcutt and Mulligan's motion to dismiss QBEs complaint against them, because there is no statutory basis for this Court to exercise personal jurisdiction over them. This leaves Allen, Dekker, and Applied in the two cases. As to these remaining parties, the Court grants in part and denies in part QBE's motions for preliminary injunctions, which will be identical in each action. First, Allen, Dekker, and Applied will be enjoined from possessing any documents containing alleged trade secret information generated by QBE's aviation division that were taken from QBE by any former QBE aviation employee. Allen, Dekker, and Applied (including all Applied employees) will not use, disclose, or share with any person or entity such documents, or any other QBE confidential information, in their possession. This relief is already contained in the TROs. Second, Allen, Dekker, and Applied (including all Applied employees) shall not, from the date the preliminary injunction issues through the earlier of October 1, 2022 or the end of this litigation, directly or indirectly through others (including through brokers/agents) either (i) solicit any Covered QBE Aviation Insurance Policyholder13 whom or which has been a QBE policyholder since October 1, 2020, and who remains an active policyholder of QBE as of the date the injunction issues, or (ii) discourage any Covered QBE Aviation Insurance Policyholder from doing further business with QBE. As Allen, Dekker, and Applied have argued, they cannot be expected to comply with the non-solicitation aspect of this preliminary injunction if it is phrased solely in the categorical terms used to analyze the restrictive covenant's enforceability. Indeed, Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(1)(C) requires every injunction to "describe in reasonable detail-and not by referring to the complaint or other document-the act or acts restrained or required." Therefore, Counsel are directed to meet and confer and, within two weeks of the entry of this order, jointly submit a list of the Covered QBE Aviation Insurance Policyholders that fall within the non-solicitation covenants likely enforceable scope, as set forth in section II.A.2.d, supra. That list, which may be sealed if either party so-requests, will be incorporated by reference to the preliminary injunction, which shall issue shortly thereafter. Until that time, the TROs remain in effect. So Ordered.. (Signed by Judge Jed S. Rakoff on 3/24/2022) (js) Modified on 3/25/2022 (js).
