Original Court Document: View Document
Private Training Gyms, Inc. appealed a Supreme Court order denying its motion for a preliminary injunction against Ryan Lutke, who was accused of violating a nonsolicitation agreement by providing services to the gym's former clients. The Appellate Division, First Department, affirmed the lower court's decision, ruling that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a likelihood of success on the merits, as it only provided speculative and conclusory claims of solicitation. The court noted that the plaintiff could not prove irreparable harm since monetary damages for lost profits were an adequate remedy. Additionally, the balance of equities favored the defendant, as there was insufficient evidence of a breach of the nonsolicitation agreement to justify restricting Lutke's ability to earn a living. The decision and order were entered on December 28, 2021.
