Management Registry, Inc. v. A.W. Companies, Inc.

This appeal stemmed from a dispute over a business deal between Management Registry, a large Kentucky staffing company, and a smaller staffing company it acquired under the brand "AllStaff." Some of the participants then formed a rival company, A.W. Companies.The Eighth Circuit affirmed the denial of preliminary injunctive relief to Management Registry and held that the district court did not abuse its discretion by determining that Management Registry had not met its burden of showing irreparable harm. Rather, Management Registry presented evidence suggesting the opposite: that an award of money damages would fully compensate it because its losses were quantifiable. Furthermore, Management Registry also failed to establish that it was likely to succeed on the merits of the ten claims it raised. View "Management Registry, Inc. v. A.W.
