Course: MGMT9810: Employment Law: Special Topics

In 1988, Justin Case joined Milky's Chocolate Milk Factory as an entry-level sales rep. In 1983, Mi/ky's became the first dairy farm in the entire world to raise cattle that could produce chocolate milk (this really isn't true but if it was, I'd get me one of those cows). By 2002, Case was in a management position. He had no written employment K until 2005 when Milkys presented it to him and asked him to sign it. Case signed it w/o seeking legal advice you know I've told you that this is NEVER a good idea. The K contained a non-competition clause prohibiting him from working anywhere in N.A. for one year. The K also stated that consideration was Case's \""employment status with Miky'sand payment of salary\". Shortly after signing the K, Case was offered a job as a regional sales manager with a competitor. Milky sought an injunction based upon the agreed-upon non- compete clause contained in the 2005 K. You're the judge what's your ruling and why? kgL iy
