Message: [QUOTE="Kimlo, post: 3178355, member: 2021"] A long time ago I actually had a non-compete clause in an old work contract, of course I ignored it and went and started my own business. It was some BS clause about not being able to work within the industry within 10kms in the first 6 months, 20kms in the first year, scaling to 3 years. Good luck convincing a judge that's fair so I ignored it. My understanding is a contract only has merit if it is reasonable, and I obviously took a risk that the my previous employer wouldn't be dumb enough to take me to court for it as it effectively made me unemployable for a year. It appears to me a lot of non compete clauses are just the employer going above and beyond what's reasonable and hoping they won't have to defend the clause in court. [/QUOTE]
