The case to be appealed involves the owned of a canned and frozen food factory (the defendant) who is sueing a business associate (the plaintiff) for breach of contract. The plaintiff entered into a written contract with the defendant to use the defendant's equipment for packaging a meatless stuffing under the plaintiff's labels. All materials were paid for and purchased by the plaintiff, and the defendant charged on a per package basis for his services. The defendant further agreed "not to manufacture, package, ship, or in any wise handle any other meatless or giblet stuffing under any other name or label." Just prior to the first anniversary of the contract, the plaintiff started to package some products elsewhere. When this fact became known the defendant served notice of termination of the contract and is now processing and selling meatless stuffing under a different label. The plaintiff is sueing for specific performance of the defendant's promise "not to manufacture, package, ship, or in any wise handle any other meatless stuffing under any other name or label." The judgment in the trial court was for the defendant and plaintiff appeals. Teams representing the plaintiff will be Francis Demarest and Tommy Dußos; Paul Leech and Charles Burns; John Ciolino and Walter Kollen; Herbert Christenberry and Frank Klein; Nick Gagliano and a partner to be named. Representing the defendant will be Fritz Westenberger and Dennis Brousseau; Andre Trawick and Dan Barfield; Dan Carroll and Ed Broussard; Gene Palmisano and Albert Huddleston; and Caryl Vesty and Thomas Toranto.
