THE Court of Appeal has granted an interim injunction against Tealive from continuing their operations following an appeal by rival Chatime, who said their tea business franchise here in Malaysia was stolen from them.

Taiwan-based La Kaffa International Co Ltd had filed an originating summons to seek an injunction to restrain Loob Holding Sdn Bhd from operating a rival tea business under the name Tealive, a popular bubble-tea business with 161 outlets and 800 employees nationwide.
