Question:
Bill hires Ted to help develop a secret recipe. The contract has a noncompete clause prohibiting Ted from working for a competitor for three years after leaving. After six months Ted quits and is hired at a direct competitor. Bill sues for breach of contract and requests the court grant an injunction preventing Ted from working anywhere for the next three years. Will the court grant the injunction, assuming Bill proves his case?
Yes. The court will grant the injunction to punish Ted for his wrongdoing.
Yes. The court will grant the injunction because it prevents injury to Bill.
No The court will likely refuse because the injunction would prevent Ted from being able to have any job. The noncompete clause leans towards being unconscionable.
No The court will refuse because damages are more appropriate.
Maybe. The court will grant the injunction if Teds actions are shown to be malicious.
