Matthew J. Tlusty v. JS Restaurant Enterprises LLC d/b/a The Old Original Bookbinder’s
Plaintiff and defendant [private]entered into an agreement dated 7 Aug. 2009, drafted by defendant, which plaintiff says contains provisions, restrictions and covenants that are not reasonable and necessary to protect the business interests of defendant and are unduly harsh on plaintiff’s ability to earn a living. Plaintiff also says that defendant has for advertising purposes and/or purposes of trade, used plaintiff’s name, portrait and/or picture without his written permission, and after his employment ended on April 20, 2011, misrepresented to the public that Tlusty remains a chef at the restaurant, using his picture on promotional and advertising materials. Defendant used plaintiff’s name, image and reputation as recently as April 5, 2012, plaintiff alleges, and thus has diminished his name and reputation. Plaintiff asks that the court issue a temporary and permanent injunction against defendant from filing suit in any court other than the circuit court of Richmond for any litigation, and award him attorney’s fees and costs; award him compensatory damages of $250,000 and punitive damages of $250,000, fees and costs for using his name, portrait and/or picture without his written consent; and issue a temporary and permanent injunction against using his name, portrait and/or picture without his written consent.
