J. Wood partially rules in favor of the employee and the executive in a breach of contract and fiduciary duty action brought by the insurance brokerage firm for violating their employment agreements. The employee's motion for summary judgment is granted as to the firm's claims for breach of non-compete covenant and breach of confidentiality and non-disclosure covenants regarding all clients except one. However, the employee's motion is denied with respect to claims for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of non-solicitation, employee non-interference and confidentiality covenants for information on one client. Genuine issues of fact exist as to whether the employee breached his non-solicitation covenant but undisputed evidence shows that the executive did not breach hers. There is a factual dispute as to whether the executive violated her confidentiality and non-disclosure covenants.

J. Rakoff grants the borrower's motion to dismiss the lender's claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith in a dispute over the repayment of a $4.3 million loan, but denied the motion to dismiss the breach of contract claim. The complaint adequately alleges the lender complied with its contractual obligation to negotiate in good faith, and the lender showed it suffered damages. However, the breach of implied covenant claim is duplicative of the breach of contract claim.

J. Winmill grants an insurance company's motion for expenses regarding an improperly terminated disposition. The disposition regarding a car collision was terminated by counsel when the passenger in the car, who suffered severe memory loss, was being asked about insurance claims documents and was about to be shown those documents. The attorney alleges that the insurer failed to lay the proper foundation for refreshing a witness' recollection with a document. The attorney has not shown that the insurer's counsel's questioning rose to the level of bad faith or oppressiveness. The "unilateral termination of the...disposition was therefore unjustified and warrants sanctions."

J. Rodriguez partially grants a subcontractor’s motion to dismiss after it was sued by a company that had contracted it for IT work, which said that the subcontractor did not have “the specialized knowledge to develop the IT system” as it claimed and had other irregularities in its work, including double billing and improper installation. While the hiring company can proceed with its lawsuit, it cannot bring claims under the Computer Fraud Abuse Act, as even under the suing company's version of events, the subcontractor “had at least some authorization to access the IT system at issue.”
