Ex-Human filed a civil complaint against Apple Inc in the Northern District of California on March 31, 2026, alleging a contract dispute under diversity jurisdiction. The plaintiff simultaneously filed a Motion for Temporary Restraining Order along with supporting declarations and exhibits, indicating an urgent request for injunctive relief. The complaint was filed with a $405 filing fee and includes a civil cover sheet.

Compliance teams should note this case if their organization has contractual relationships with Apple or operates in similar commercial spaces. The TRO motion suggests the plaintiff seeks immediate court action, which could involve emergency injunctive relief affecting Apple's business operations. Apple will need to respond to both the complaint and TRO motion within court-specified deadlines. This case should be monitored if similar contract disputes arise in the technology sector, as outcomes may establish precedent for commercial disputes involving major technology companies.
