Description
Truly Nolen, Inc., and Orkin Exterminating Company are competing organizations in the pest control and exterminating business. Truly Nolen brought a complaint seeking an injunction against Orkin and certain of its employees to restrain them from the alleged activity of soliciting, enticing and pirating the employees of Truly Nolen and secondly to require Orkin to pay such damages as the plaintiff may have already sustained in consequence of these alleged activities and such punitive damages as the chancellor might find proper. Orkin denied the allegations of the complaint and an extensive trial was held. The chancellor made extensive findings of fact in his decree, the basic conclusion of which was that Orkin maliciously, wantonly, and unlawfully interfered with Truly Nolens contracts. The decree enjoined Orkin from further interference with plaintiffs employment contracts and contained judgment for Truly Nolen against Orkin for $7,519.01 actual damages and $75,000 as punitive damages. A judgment of $7,500 as punitive damages against a defendant, Pierce, who was an employee of Orkin, was also entered.
