Background:

• Relationship: Monaco and Capalbo were business partners and romantic partners.
• Conflict: They are now litigating due to both personal and business disputes.

Key Points:

1. Urgency: The motion for injunction was expedited due to its urgent nature.
2. Legal Proceedings: Pleadings closed with the statement of claim, defense, and counterclaims exchanged between April and June 2024.
3. Consent Order: An interim order issued on June 14, 2024, addressed pressing financial issues, such as the regularization of the TWEF and 134 bank account, and authorized certain expenditures by Capalbo.

Capalbo's Requests:

• Defamation: Restraining Monaco from disseminating defamatory statements.
• Non-communication: Preventing Monaco from contacting or approaching Capalbo.
• Access to Funds: Permission to access funds for personal salary, compensation for her son, taxes, and expenses for the Women Empowerment Awards.

Court's Findings:

• Defamation Issues: Already settled by consent; thus, not addressed further.
• Urgency of Salary Payment: Not considered urgent and will be resolved later.
• Increased Expense Limit: Court granted the increase of accessible funds from $130,000 to $200,000 for event-related expenses.
• Restraining Order: Denied due to lack of evidence of imminent threat or harm. Incidents cited were not deemed sufficient to warrant such an order.

Outcome:

• Mixed Outcome: Neither party was fully successful. Some of Capalbo’s requests were granted, while others were denied. The court increased the expense limit Capalbo could access but denied her requests for a salary payment and a restraining order against Monaco.
• Costs: To be determined in the cause. No amount was specified in the decision.
