A Las Vegas-based basketball camp has filed suit against SportsQuest Academy and Tony Tucker, a former employee who now leads sports development for SportsQuest.
SportsQuest Academy is a division of the 250-acre sports complex being developed in Chesterfield County.
Abunassar Impact Basketball LLC filed the suit in Clark County District Court and seeks an injunction against the use of proprietary information it claims Tucker brought with him to SportsQuest. It also seeks monetary damages.
Vegas Inc. reports:
The suit alleges that Abunassar hired Tucker to assist in its training program in 2008 and that upon his departure from the company, he failed to repay a $28,750 loan.
While employed at Abunassar, the suit says, Tucker had overcharged certain Abunassar clients and kept the extra money for himself; and he “gathered Abunassar’s confidential and proprietary information in order to help start a new company, SportsQuest, which would directly and unfairly compete with Abunassar using Abunassar’s own proprietary information.’’
This information included Abunassar’s business model, client lists, pricing information and information on the schools, teams and players Abunassar worked with, the lawsuit says.
SportsQuest CEO Steve Burton said the company does not comment on pending litigation, as reported by the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
