Description
This is an equitable bill of discovery proceeding under rule 737, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure. Redken produces hair care
and beauty products and sells them through distributorship agreements by which the products may be sold for resale only to
professional salons or licensed cosmetology schools. Redken discovered Ross was selling genuine Redken products at highly
competitive "discount" prices. Ross is not a licensed Redken distributor, and its stores do not have professional beauticians
or barbers or otherwise qualify as contemplated resale outlets under the Redken distributorship agreements. Redken sued Ross
for an equitable bill of discovery to find out where and how Ross was obtaining its genuine Redken products. Redken filed a motion for summary judgment, alleging facts the thrust of which was that the only way that Ross could be acquiring
the Redken products was through a distributor's "directly or indirectly" breaching its contract with Redken. Redken's bill
of discovery action was brought with a view toward filing suit against the supplier or suppliers of Redken products to Ross.
From the face of Redken's pleadings there is no assertion or contemplation of any cause of action against Ross. In connection
with its motion for summary judgment, Redken disclaimed any present intention of suing Ross for damages.
