Heading: Johns's Argument

Text: On the other hand, Johns correctly points out that Alabama law recognizes no inference of irreparable injury from the alleged violation of a noncompetition agreement; he argues that this Court should not now recognize such an inference. Johns contends simply that this case should be treated as any other request for injunctive relief, that is, that the burden is on Ormco to demonstrate that it will suffer immediate and irreparable injury during the litigation if Johns is not enjoined from working as a salesperson for GAC. See Perley, 646 So.2d at 587. Johns argues not only that Ormco failed at the hearing on its motion for a preliminary injunction to produce sufficient evidence of irreparable injury, but also that Johns effectively refuted what evidence Ormco did present.
