PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION GRANTED: Today, Judge Ada Brown granted the challengers' motion to stay the effective date and enjoined the FTC's Non-Compete Clause Rule from taking effect as applied to the challengers. The court did not grant a nationwide injunction, instead limiting the injunctive relief to the parties in the case (and not the associations' members). The court found, "the text, structure, and history of the FTC Act reveal that the FTC lacks substantive rulemaking authority with respect to unfair methods of competition under Section 6(g)." The court noted it intends to rule on the ultimate merits of the action by August 30, 2024--before the non-compete ban is scheduled to take effect for everyone else.
