Norfolk County Circuit Court April 2, 2004, Case No. (Chancery) CH04-223 (Professional Heating & Cooling, Inc. v. Smith)

By Judge Everett A. Martin, Jr.

Donald Smith worked for the plaintiff as a service technician from October of 1992 through March 2, 2001. On April 27, 1993, he signed the “No Piracy Agreement” at issue. On March 2, 2001, Smith left the plaintiffs employ to move to Costa Rica; he hoped to live there permanently. There was no bitterness on either side at the time of Smith’s resignation.
