IES, which has offices in Scotland, India, Singapore, US and Australia as well as in Ireland, sells licences to use its software and also provides consultancy services to clients. That software is used in the design and construction of energy efficient and sustainable buildings. The High Court heard IES apprehends the defendants have taken its property, including creating models of IES’s “Virtual Environment” software, which it is alleged they will use for the BPCE’s benefit. IES claims that during the course of their employment, and in breach of their contracts of employment, they diverted business from it to the benefit of BPCE. The court heard all four were senior employees at IES’s Irish branch and had, on dates between December and January last, resigned from that company. They have brought proceedings against John Gleeson, Stephen Earle, Darren Jordan, Sean O’Riordan and Building Performance Consulting Engineers (BPCE). Scotland-headquartered Integrated Environmental Solutions Ltd (IES) and related IES R&D Ltd develop specialised software used to help design buildings that are more environmentally friendly. A multinational software development company has brought High Court proceedings against several Irish-based outgoing employees whom it alleges have unlawfully diverted its business to a rival firm allegedly set up by them.
