Ed-Tech Legal Showdown Ends in Truce | Dublin News

A high-stakes legal showdown erupted when ed-tech startup Olive slapped a sweeping temporary injunction on former employees and their new firm, Eduvolve, accusing them of stealing confidential data to poach schools and costing over 1.6 million euros in contracts. The court initially barred the defendants from operating in education and even selling IT gear — before they could defend themselves. But this week, both sides agreed to drop the injunction, though one ex-executive must now hand over a full accounting of any data he may have taken. The case, now adjourned, underscores how fiercely competitive the ed-tech world can be — and how quickly tempers flare when top talent jumps ship.
