Court grants injunction to enforce 12 month non-compete covenantSummary: The High Court found that a 12 month non-competition covenant in the post-termination restrictions of energy derivatives traders was enforceable. The duration was no longer than reasonably necessary to protect the employer’s confidential information. 12 months was unreasonably long for other restrictive covenants, however (Dare International Ltd v Soliman).
