JOGINDER WAS THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF MOBITAKE INVESTMENTSPTY LTD. WHILE HE WAS STILL SERVING IN THAT CAPACITY, HE ACQUIRED A SHELF COMPANY CALLED QUICKBUY PTY LTD. MOBITAKE WAS BUSINESS OF DEVELOPING MOBILE TELEPHONE SOFTWARE AND WAS CONTINUALLY LOOKING FOR NEW BUSINESS BY COMPETIVELY BIDDING FOR JOBS UNDER TENDER. A POTENTIALCUSTOMER SOUGHT BIDS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN APPLICATION TO ALLOW SUBSCRIBERS TO ORDER AND PAY FOR DOMESTIC SUPPLIES FROM SEVERAL SUPERMARKETS SIMULTANEOUSLY, JOGINDER WAS INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS OF PUTTING TOGETHER THE BID FOR MOBITAKE, AS HE WORKED CLOSELY WITH THE TECHNICAL TEAM.

UNKNOWN TO MOBITAKE INDUSTRIES, JOGINDER SECRETLY CAUSED HIS OWN COMPANY, QUICKBUY, TO SUBMIT A BID IN COMPETITION WITH MOBITAKE INDUSTRIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SAME APPLICATION. QUICKBUY WAS THE SUCCESSFUL TENDERER AS ITS PRICE WAS LOWER THAN MOBITAKE'S.
