What persuades
In Walling, Slick denied an injunction after finding that the employee partnership was a legitimate effort to preserve work rather than an evasion of federal wage law.
“I see, in the evidence before me, no indication of fraud or evasion”
Procedural preferences
In Jacobs, Slick rejected late intervention where the existing plaintiffs were adequately represented and the proposed intervenor had no necessary role.
“The plaintiffs are adequately represented by reputable counsel and I am of the opinion that it is not necessary that anyone be permitted to intervene”
