Purely off the top of my head several players have partially withdrawn from their BBL contracts after gettingi ILT20 deals. Shaheen Afridi withdrew from the hundred with the intention of signing for the GT20. Moeen Ali withdrew from the SA20 to sign for the ILT20.
The other issue of players being allowed to go play another league before the original league they're a part of has concluded is also an integrity issue given it potentially gives them a financial incentive not to win.
BBL hasn't sued anyone. Why? Because its known before hand which player will leave when. The players are signed on that basis.

ILT20 hasnt sued anyone. Neither did SA20. They have an understanding on how to deal with this kind of issues.
Speaking on Wednesday, Graeme Smith, the league commissioner of South Africa's newly named SA20, acknowledged the England allrounder's complicated situation, given that he had been announced in the squads for both the Johannesburg Super Kings and the ILT20's Sharjah Warriors. Later the same afternoon, Moeen confirmed in an a announcement on Twitter that he would be choosing the Warriors as his primary destination.
"We have aligned on a strategy in terms of allowing the player to feel comfortable in terms of what he does and where he decides to play," Smith said when asked about Moeen. "I am dealing with the UAE league in that.
"I was in the UAE last week and met with them and that will play itself out over the next few days. We have agreed a way of handling it. There needs to be a way that both of us can co-exist.
"There is a relationship that's opened up there in terms of finding a way forward. I am looking forward to further engagements with the UAE league on that."
The uniqueness of Moeen's situation had centred on the agreements he entered into with both leagues. Having given commitments to both with an understanding he would pick the tournament he preferred, it turns out Moeen had signed directly with the Warriors. Thus, the ILT20 believed they have a greater claim to him than the SA20, given he had only signed with Cricket South Africa rather than a direct team.
That's the whole saga. SA20 and ILT20 have an understanding.
Shaheen Afridi didn't get NoC.
This is a PSL problem because its in the middle of IPL and players will likely choose the IPL over PSL.
