US EditionFired Market Basket Executives Lose Injunction Ruling - Boston Business ...
Market Basket alleges two former executives unlawfully entered properties 26 times over six days and engaged in a campaign of intimidation, prompting legal action to protect company premises.
- On Thursday, a court granted an injunction preventing former Market Basket directors Joe Schmidt and Tom Gordon from accessing the company’s premises following their dismissal on July 22.
- The injunction followed claims that Schmidt and Gordon trespassed on Market Basket stores and offices during at least 23 visits over six days despite multiple warnings.
- Schmidt used a side entrance to enter headquarters on August 7 and reportedly spent time in associates' offices, while the company accused him of covertly retaining master keys.
- Market Basket said the injunction stops unlawful behavior and praised the ruling, while Schmidt and Gordon expressed respect for the court and hope for a positive outcome.
- The dispute underscores ongoing corporate conflict involving suspended CEO Arthur T. Demoulas, with mediation scheduled for September 3 between him and the board.
