A covenant not to compete, also called a "nompete agreement" or "non compete clause," is an agreement where one party promises not to compete with the other party in a specified area for a certain period of time. A covenant not to compete can be found in an employment contract or a sale of business contract.
Where an employer claims a financial remedy or damages for breach of a restrictive covenant in an employment contract, the employer will need to show some loss resulting from the breach. This will normally be loss of profits on contracts or opportunities diverted by the employee.
