As proceedings continue, the Touch of Pink versus Mary Kay Inc case continues on.
Apparently the jury has been selected because a jury roll now exists in the documents of the case.
There have been numerous documents filed in the last few weeks. Basically it’s a formal rehashing of the same issues, with each side stating their assertions.
As I mentioned earlier, Touch of Pink Cosmetics did score several victories in the case already and this is noted in one of the case documents:
On February 20, 2009, the court granted partial summary judgment for
the defendants on Mary Kay’s claims of tortious interference with contract, tortious
interference with prospective contract, and unjust enrichment. For that reason, Mary
Kay has removed those claims from its list of contested issues of law and fact that will
be a part of the trial of this case. This should not be read, however, as an
abandonment of those claims by Mary Kay. Mary Kay respectfully disagrees with the
order granting these portions of defendants’ motion for summary judgment and
believes that these issues should be presented to the jury.
There are lots of issues still to be determined, naturally, and I’ll keep you up to date as best I can.
I know we’re all eager to see what the outcome of this case will be.
In that area, I wonder how hard it was to find jurors who had never been an IBC and were not related (mother, sister, child, MIL, SIL) to an IBC.
Even in a civil trial, you have to have a bit of “no personal interest” screening.
Touch of Pink has just lost this lawsuit. Where can you sell excess inventory now? Ebay? Craigslist?
The company has a 90% buy back rate. Don’t violate your contract by selling on Ebay. Sell it back to the company. If you have questions, ask your director. Or how about this… Sell the product! That’s why you started the business right? Don’t give up.
Scott S, has your Mensa application been signed and sent in triplicate yet??
If MK weren’t a dishonest company with a completely flooded market these products would have been sold at full price ages ago. What idiot takes 90% of the value of something they could sell for full price?
Why don’t you look into MKs guidelines a bit more prior to lecturing us.
