Torrington Company v. Yost

After Yost (defendant) left Torrington (plaintiff) to work for competitor INA under a non-disclosure agreement, Torrington sued Yost seeking an 18-month injunction against his work at INA plants producing thrust bearings and return of confidential materials, but did not join INA, whose joinder would have destroyed diversity jurisdiction; Yost moved to dismiss for failure to join INA as an indispensable party under FRCP Rule 19.
