The Court in Back Office Ltd v Percival granted an order that an ex-employee and a competitor company observe the terms of the ex-employee’s post termination restrictions following his defection to the new employer.
The Court order was breached and the case was before the High Court. A committal to prison for contempt of Court was not made but fines were instead issued. These were presumably in excess of the rewards for the parties in ignoring the Court order.
