Injunctions Against Employees that Steal from Employers

One of my business clients recently had a disgruntled employee that took confidential data/information from my client and then demanded that my client pay money under the threat of disclosing the confidential data/information. I immediately filed suit against the disgruntled employee and within 1 week obtained an injunction requiring the now former employee to return the confidential data/information and to not disclose, copy, publish, etc…. Should this former employee not immediately comply,  the former employee may be placed under arrest for being in contempt of Court.
