On August 20, the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas held that the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) final rule banning noncompetes is unlawful and “set aside” the rule. “The Rule shall not be enforced or otherwise take effect on its effective date of September 4, 2024, or thereafter.”The district court’s decision has a nationwide effect. The FTC is very likely to appeal to the Fifth Circuit.

On July 3, the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas issued a decision and order enjoining the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) from enforcing its final rule banning most noncompete agreements. This decision is the expected outcome of the suit. Notably, the court expressly declined to issue a nationwide injunction. Instead, the injunction is limited to the named plaintiffs and does not stay the FTC’s noncompete rule for others.

Off This decision is the expected outcome of the suit. Notably, the court expressly declined to issue a nationwide injunction. Instead, the injunction is limited to the named plaintiffs and does not stay the FTC’s noncompete rule for others. The court stated its intent to issue a final decision on the merits by August 30, which is days before the September 4 effective date of the FTC’s rule.
