Medco Data, LLC v. Bailey, 152 So. 3d 105

Medco Data, LLC sues three former employees to enforce a covenant not to compete.
Medco Data moves for a temporary injunction under Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.610.
Trial court found covenants enforceable and violated, but denied injunction, stating lack of irreparable harm.
Medco Data requested to submit a memorandum addressing irreparable injury, which the court denied.
Appellate court reversed, concluding the trial court failed to apply the statutory presumption of irreparable injury in section 542.335(l)(j).
Remand ordered to reconsider with the presumption; if rebutted, reasons must be stated on the record.
