FAQ
The restrictive covenants imposed by the scheme must be registered against the seller by each buyer. In the case of unregistered land the covenants are registered as D(ii) land charges.
Assuming an employee meets the definition of a key employee, an Idaho court will enforce a non-compete agreement as long as it is reasonable with respect to duration, geographic scope and the scope of the activities being restrained.
Certain restrictive covenants will be enforceable, if you are able to prove that they are: reasonable. necessary to protect legitimate business interests; and. of a duration no longer than is necessary to protect those interests.
What happens if I breach a restrictive covenant? If you own a property and unknowingly (or otherwise) breach a restrictive covenant then you could be forced to undo any offending work (such as having to pull down an extension), pay a fee (often running into thousands of pounds) or even face legal action.
In respect of covenants, for them to be enforceable, both the benefit and burden must run in common law or both must run in equity. So if the benefit runs in common law but the burden only runs in equity (or vice versa) the covenant will not be enforceable.
If a neighbour threatens to breach a restrictive covenant binding on them you will probably want to obtain an injunction to prevent breach rather than simply claim monetary compensation.Generally only the owner of land which was, or was part of, the land intended to be benefited by the covenant, can enforce it.
Typically, courts tend to enforce restrictions of between 6 and 12 months, depending upon the seniority of the employee concerned and their access to confidential information and clients. This is subject, of course, to the covenants being reasonable and necessary to protect a legitimate business interest.
Courts will look at a variety of factors to determine if these restrictions are reasonable. Idaho recognizes non-compete agreements and has adopted is own statute governing non-compete agreements.
The covenant must be negative (restrictive). There must be a benefited and a burdened land and the two must be reasonably close together close enough for the benefited land to be genuinely adversely affected by a breach. The covenant must actually benefit the benefiting land.
