Legal Question in Business Law in California
Hi
I just got 2 responses from a question that I may not have been very clear on my intent so I wanted to follow up so I could give details on my scenario.
I worked for a company 2 years ago which has since been dissolved (Feb 2008)
The owner of the company is being sued in a criminal court.
I signed a NonCompete/Non Disclosure Agreement (combined into 1 agreement).
I have provided information in May 2009 (emails, and a Declartion Under the Penalty of Perjury) to the Plaintiff which is incriminating to the Defense,
(in my opin the company practices were shady)
I am not looking to open a business to compete with this (old) business.
The Defense is now saying that I violated my Non Disclosure bc I gave info to a 3rd party without a court order. I think they may be trying everything they can to discredit me bc their case is weak.
I have asked a few attorneys I know and they think that the Agreement may not be enforceable anymore as the company was Dissolved in Feb 08.
I do not think there are any assets, or receivables etc.... the company went out of business and has no money.
The Defense is demanding that I return all info that I have (per the Agreement) and I cannot disclose any info per the Agreement (which I already have).
Given this info, is this Agreement enforceable?
If so, given that I already disclosed the info, what should I do?
Thanks

If the company no longer exists and isn't around to enforce it, I don't understand why you are concerned. How many attorneys have to tell you that for you to understand it? Move on with life.
