Ex-OrthoFix rep loses rehearing bid in appeals court loss
BY
A federal appeals court declined to review its finding that a former Orthofix (NSDQ:OFIX) sales rep broke a non-disclosure agreement when he jumped ship for rival DonJoy Orthopedics (now DJO Global).
The rep, Eric Hunter, worked for Orthofix for 12 years before joining DonJoy in 2012. According to the appeals court, Hunter and another Orthofix rep named Bob Lemanski negotiated their defection with DonJoy area vice president of sales Richard Spina, plotting for Hunter to solicit Orthofix customers through Lemanski.
