FAQ
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.
The well-known general rule is that a covenant not to compete is only enforceable if its terms are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the employer.
This is because of its potential to be anti competitive, and therefore against public policy. Restrictive covenants are only enforceable if their effect is stringently restricted to what is essential to protect particular business relationships and information.
It is possible to find non-compete loopholes in certain circumstances in order to void a non-compete contract. For instance, if you can prove that you never signed the contract, or if you can demonstrate that the contract is against the public interest, you may be able to void the agreement.
According to the California Business and Professions Code Section 16600, every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void. In other words, non-compete agreements are not enforceable in California.
From an Indian legal perspective, the Non-compete clause is prohibited under the Law of Contracts. Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act-1872 provides that - Every agreement by which anyone is restrained from exercising a lawful profession or trade or business of any kind, is to that extent void.
The general position is that post-termination restrictive covenants are void on public policy grounds as being in restraint of trade, unless they are being used by the employer to protect a legitimate business interest.
Idaho law states that if a non-compete is unreasonable in any respect, a court must modify the agreement to reflect the intent of the parties and render the agreement reasonable and enforceable.
Assuming an employee meets the definition of a key employee, an Idaho court will enforce a non-compete obligation as long as it is reasonable in terms of duration, geographic scope, and scope of restricted activities.
Interestingly, although a non-compete cannot prohibit direct competition for longer than eighteen months after the employment ends, if the non-compete's prohibitions last for only eighteen months or less, the non-compete is presumed under Idaho law to be reasonable and enforceable.
