This court and this hearing can only enjoin ZM from activities in violation of the anti-competition clause in his employment contract. The company/SN need to show enough credible evidence to cause the judge to issue the injunction until the arbitration sorts it all out. I think that is feasible, as it is pretty clear he is conducting oil and gas activities in Georgia for others while still employed by FRC, and then the clause continues for 2-3 years after. The question there will be if Frontera (as opposed to FRGC) is still conducting oil and gas activities in Georgia. FRUS still exists and has a branch office there, and is certainly attempting to continue, so I think on balance she can find against him.
What she can't stop is FTI, or order the Georgians to honor the transfer to FRUS. She can't stop Green either unless there's a clear tie to ZM, which I don't think Frontera have shown. Lots of smoke but no fire. ZM denied Otar is his cousin. There's been no documents relating to Green that show a clear connection to ZM. But maybe more will come out today.
