Ein Streit um Territorium landet Schädlingsbekämpfer vor Gericht

Zwei Schädlingsbekämpfer aus Portland befinden sich derzeit in einem gerichtlichen Streit um Territorien und Kunden. Die beiden Männer, John Smith und Bill Johnson, stehen vor dem Gericht, nachdem Smith Johnson beschuldigt hatte, in seinem Verkaufsgebiet Kunden abgeworben zu haben.

Der Streit begann, als Johnson begann, Kunden in Smiths angestammtem Gebiet zu akquirieren. Smith behauptet, dass Johnson diese Kunden absichtlich abgeworben hat, um sein Geschäft zu schwächen und seinen eigenen Umsatz zu steigern.

Johnson weist die Anschuldigungen zurück und behauptet, dass er das Recht hat, Kunden in jedem Gebiet zu gewinnen, das er wünscht. Er argumentiert, dass der Markt frei sein sollte und dass es unfair wäre, ihm den Zugang zu potenziellen Kunden zu verwehren.

Das Gericht wird nun entscheiden müssen, ob Johnson tatsächlich gegen das Gesetz verstoßen hat, indem er in Smiths Verkaufsgebiet Kunden abgeworben hat. Die Entscheidung könnte weitreichende Auswirkungen auf die Schädlingsbekämpfungsbranche in Portland haben.
