United States Fifth Circuit

In an action for sharing confidential trade information, summary judgment for Defendant is affirmed in part, where the "discovery rule" regarding the statute of limitations was not applicable because Plaintiff's claims did not involve latent injury; but vacated in part, where a prior consent judgment was binding on Defendant as a related party under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2)(C).
