DIRTT Environmental Solutions Ltd., an interior construction company that uses technology for client-driven design and manufacturing, filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court of Utah against Falkbuilt Ltd, Falkbuilt, LLC, Falk Mountain States, LLC, Kristy Henderson, and former DIRTT employee Lance Henderson. This action seeks to restrain the defendants from misappropriating DIRTT’s confidential information, trade secrets, business intelligence and customer information, and using that information to advance Falkbuilt’s U.S. businesses to the detriment of DIRTT.
The company stated: “We are taking this action today to protect our brand, our business and the interests of our employees, clients, distribution partners, suppliers and shareholders and the communities we are privileged to serve. While we do not believe these efforts to interfere with our Company have had a material impact on our financial performance to date, such activity cannot be overlooked. We will take appropriate steps to safeguard the value of our business, brand, trusted relationships we have in the marketplace, and our longstanding commitments to our stakeholders. We intend to pursue this action to the fullest extent allowed by the law.”
