Judge refuses to snip non-compete
03.24.11
A Massachusetts court in Zona Corp. v
McKinnon upheld a 1 year non-compete signed by a hair dresser who
had been fired from the salon. The fact that the hair dresser
employment came to end involuntarily did not affect the enforcement
of the clause. At stake was the usual scenario that investigators
are called upon to prove: the former employee was using
confidential information to make contact with former customers.
Some memorable situations at this firm have involved men who are
violating a non-competition agreements and can't help bragging at
the hotel bar to the lovely and attentive brunette--who is, of
course, a private investigator.
