Montréal startup Deck is asking a Québec court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by its former employer, National Bank of Canada, calling the action “frivolous, abusive, and destined to fail.” The suit, brought by National Bank and its subsidiary Flinks, alleges Deck co-founders Yves-Gabriel Leboeuf and Frédérick Lavoie breached a non-compete agreement.
Deck argues it does not compete with Flinks, instead offering AI agents that retrieve password-protected data on users’ behalf. The founders are seeking dismissal of the claim and $60,000 plus legal fees. The allegations have not yet been tested in court.
