Judge Finds Young Living Acted In Bad Faith And Awards doTERRA Nearly $2 Million

by  •  • 0 Comments

Utah Fourth Judicial District Court Judge Christine S. Johnson issued a ruling that awarded doTERRA Defendants $1,810,344.11 in attorney’s fees and approximately $50,000 in out-of-pocket costs.
doTERRA’s Founding Executive and General Counsel Mark Wolfert thanked the Court for its ruling and expressed hope that all involved parties could concentrate on a more harmonious and productive future.
“doTERRA was gratified in 2017 when an objective judge and citizen jurors found that doTERRA, its executives and distributors had done nothing wrong and accordingly dismissed all charges and awarded no damages. We are now pleased that one year later, the judge has definitively confirmed that Young Living’s case was not only ill-advised, but brought in bad faith.
Nevertheless, we look forward to a less contentious relationship with Young Living and a time where both companies may now focus on their respective missions and sharing essential oils.”
This ruling hopefully closes the six years of litigation that Young Living instigated on June 21, 2012 (nearly five years after the events allegedly occurred), when it filed its initial complaint, “alleging: breach of contract, violations of Utah’s Trade Secret Act (“UTSA), unfair competition …., and multiple tort claims.” (Ruling on Defendants’ Joint Motion for Fees and Costs, July 10, 2018,

Young Living Appeals Recent Court Ruling In doTERRA Lawsuit

As the originator and ongoing leader of the modern-day essential oil movement, Young Living knows that innovation will always be followed by imitation. We know that success will always breed envy. We have never and will never hesitate to protect our members, our company, our quality, and our reputation.
Earlier this week, the court in the case against doTERRA ruled that Young Living is to pay a portion of legal fees to the defendants’ attorneys as part of a pretrial summary judgment ruling.
We deeply respect the judicial process but had hoped for a different outcome, as many key claims and pieces of evidence were not allowed to be presented at trial due to legal technicalities such as the statute of limitations ruling and other rulings made by the court.
In fact, this ruling did not address the merits of Young Living’s claims but focused on alleged reasons why Young Living waited to present one of its claims.
These technicalities resulted in Young Living never being able to tell the full story of doTERRA’s true formation. As alleged in the complaint, this included breaches of non-solicit and confidentiality agreements by members of the then-Young Living executive team and our CEO Mary Young’s personal assistant.
