The applicant sought a declaration that non-competition, non-solicitation, and confidentiality agreements he signed with the respondents were unenforceable as an illegal restraint of trade.
The court found that the covenants were connected to a commercial sale transaction rather than just an employment contract, and therefore subject to a less rigorous standard of reasonableness.
The court concluded that the covenants were unambiguous, protected a legitimate business interest, and were reasonable in their scope, territory, and duration.
The application was dismissed.
