Business Law Case:

ReadyLink Healthcare recruited and hired nurses and assigned them to its customer health-care pro- LO4 viders who requested nurses. readyLink spent a great deal of time and money developing a data- base of nurses and its health-care providers. The information was used to hire nurses and service customers. readyLink hired Jerome Cotton as a nurse-recruiting agent but fired him for stealing confidential information. Police found confidential information in his possession, and videotapes showed him sneaking into the office at night and copying confidential information. readyLink sued Cotton. Does it have a cause of action against him?
