Seven West Media obtained an interim injunction on Monday against former employee Amber Harrison to stop her from releasing more internal company documents and information, which it believes she took before leaving the company.
Ms Harrison is involved in a years-long dispute with Seven because she believes she has been mistreated since revealing an affair with chief executive, Tim Worner. Her campaign stepped up a notch after the board decided an independent review of Mr Worner's behaviour cleared him of any wrong doing.

Seven clears CEO of wrongdoing
Seven West Media clears CEO Tim Worner of wrongdoing after allegations of misconduct were raised last year by former employee Amber Harrison.
One director, Sheila McGregor, resigned the day before the board announced its decision.
The media company announced on Monday afternoon it was seeking protection through the Supreme Court of New South Wales.

"It became clear late last week that Ms Harrison is now releasing or divulging commercial in confidence emails and other documents that she has no right to hold, access or release," the company stated in a press release.
"These documents extend beyond the scope of the other dispute Ms Harrison has with SWM."
Last week Ms Harrison tweeted copies of personal letters she received from Mr Worner, and emails sent by senior executives during a raid by federal police, who suspected the company was about to send money overseas to the family of convicted drug trafficker Schapelle Corby.
Seven is now seeking relief for breaches of the Settlement Deeds it signed with Ms Harrison in 2014, and "violations of obligations of confidentiality arising under the general law, the Corporations Act and her former contract of employment".
The court will consider the matter further tomorrow.
Seven is reporting its half-year results on Wednesday. Shares were trading at 79 cents on Monday afternoon.
