Reflecting the rapid expansion of litigation concerning the application of the employee duty of loyalty, the Fourth Edition of Employee Duty of Loyalty: A State-by-State Survey is an easy-to-scan, question-and-answer reference on each state's recognition and understanding of the duty of loyalty; prohibited and permitted conduct; and litigation issues, including the availability of injunctive relief, damages, and defenses. Unique among titles on the subject, this treatise contains extensive discussions, broken out by category of employee—from "mere employees" to "officers and directors"—showing the reader how the duty of loyalty is applied depending on the level of responsibility the employee has within an organization.
The treatise contains incisive discussions of various other critical issues, and addresses questions of first impression, including:
- Has a cause of action for breach of the employee duty of loyalty been recognized?
- What damages are available for breach of the employee duty of loyalty?
- Is a claim for breach of the employee duty of loyalty preempted by the Uniform Trade Secrets Act?
The 2010 Supplement provides updated information, including discussions on whether a chief operating officer's pursuit of other business ventures constitutes a breach of the duty of loyalty under Arkansas law; whether Connecticut courts consider claims of breach of the duty of loyalty separately from claims of breach of fiduciary duty; whether an officer who was not subject to a noncompete covenant may take steps, under Michigan law, to organize a rival business to compete with his former employer following the termination of employment; and the duty of an agent under Montana law to inform the principal of all available opportunities.
The Fourth Edition also includes finding lists and detailed chapter contents, appendices of Restatement material, extensive quotations from court cases, and cross references to other titles in BNA Books' state-by-state survey series. Details on the state-by-state survey series treatises are available at bnabooks.com/employment law.
