TEAM had filed a temporary restraining order against Quixtar in Texas and it was granted September 4, pending a hearing for Quixtar to argue against it on September 18.
The text of this TRO is quite damning to Quixtar and essentially says they cannot say anything even remotely negative, directly or indirectly to any TEAM affiliated IBO’s. I think this decision is only fair since Quixtar was able to get a TRO against Orrin Woodward and TEAM preventing them from disparaging Quixtar… however it has been Quixtar that has been doing most of the trash talking via several of their corporate blogs, while TEAM has complied with the TRO against them and removed all the controversial posts from their blogs.
In this TRO, it is stated toward the end that Quixtar “shall remove all disparaging statements and comments about TEAM and any IBO affiliated with TEAM since August 1, 2007 from Defendant’s websites and blog sites within 24 hours.” It is possible that the Texas court will consider Quixtar in contempt of the order because of them keeping up certain disparaging blog posts like this one:
Despite this decision in Texas, there is a larger problem because the Michigan court has already ruled in Quixtar’s favor. Part of the problem with our justice system is that judges all over the country can rule differently on the same case. So it’s hard to say whether this will be overturned on the 18th or if TEAM will file in another state and keep Quixtar jumping from state to state to fight these TRO’s.
