The primary remedy for breach of a Restrictive Covenant is a permanent injunction to restrain the breach. However, the courts have jurisdiction to award damages instead of an injunction.
In North Carolina, there's a noteworthy aspect of restrictive covenants to consider; most covenants automatically expire after 30 years unless they are specifically for residential purposes only. This statutory limitation is a safeguard against outdated or unreasonable restrictions binding properties in perpetuity.
Restrictive covenants are binding, legal agreements that are attached to property titles.

In Canada, the enforceability of non-compete agreements is quite strict. Courts are cautious and will only enforce such agreements if they protect a legitimate business interest.

Courts have held that restrictive covenants are presumptively unenforceable on the basis that they are considered a restraint of trade contrary to public policy.
