Facts: Steven Mansbridge, formerly employed by People Corporation, is accused of misusing confidential information after joining a competitor, HUB International. The dispute centers around Mansbridge's transfer of client lists and potential client information to his personal email, with subsequent allegations of soliciting former clients of People Corporation.

Issue: The primary legal question revolves around whether Mansbridge breached confidentiality obligations under his employment contract and common law by misusing proprietary information after his employment with People Corporation ended.

Court's Ruling: The court denied the plaintiff's motion for a "limited forensic examination" of Mansbridge's computer for metadata related to the documents sent to his personal email. The decision highlighted the need for exceptional circumstances to justify such an intrusive order, which the court found lacking in this instance. The court underscored privacy and confidentiality concerns, the enforceability of the confidentiality clause, and the absence of evidence of misuse or intentional deletion of relevant information by Mansbridge.

Costs/Damages Awarded: The document does not specify the amount of costs or damages awarded, as the focus was on the denial of the motion for forensic examination rather than a final judgment on the merits of the case or financial remedies.
