1Opinion of the Court
Jordan, Chief Justice.
Process Control Corporation filed a complaint against Dean Ward praying for an interlocutory injunction against Ward’s violating a covenant “not to compete” and a covenant “not to solicit” which were ancillary to an employment contract between Ward and Process.
Following an interlocutory hearing, the trial court granted an interlocutory injunction against Ward’s violating either covenant and a permanent injunction against Ward’s disclosing Process’ trade secrets.
Ward appeals both grants of injunctive relief. We reverse the first grant and reverse and remand the second.
