Tahitian Noni, the Utah based dietary supplement juice maker, has sued former MLM executive Robert Dean who allegedly jumped ship to work for a competitor.

Tahitian Noni won a partial victory in a decision entered in federal district court in Utah.  The court partially granted a preliminary injunction against Dean that will limit his work for Noni's competitor.  While not a total victory for the supplement maker, the decision demonstrates the value of covenants not-to-compete when used in connection with key employee relationships.
