Suppose that Hal and Sophia form a general partnership and enter into an agreement to buy a restaurant which Jack had operated for twenty years on Main Street, Dullsville NY, an upstate small town. The sale completes on 1 January. The contract includes a non-competition agreement, for a period of ten years anywhere in the state, under which Jack agrees not to be involved in owning or operating another restaurant. A few months later, Jack decides that he will open a new restaurant in the next town, five miles away, unless Hal and Sophia agree to pay him an extra $100,000. Hal and Sophia agree, since they do not want to fight. Six months later, however, they still have not paid the $100,000. Jack opens the restaurant and sues for the $100.000. Hal and Sophia's partnership countersues for breach of contract, citing the non-competition agreement.

What is the likely result of Jacks suit for the $100,000? What is the likely result of the partnerships suit for breach of the non-competition agreement? Why?
