Non-compete far too sweeping

BATON ROUGE, La. — A federal court in Louisiana denied summary judgment to an Ohio-based network of veterinary services in favor of a Louisiana veterinarian whose employment agreement restrict him from competing with the Ohio company in “the entire continent” of North America. This is “clearly” a violation of Louisiana law. Because the challenged provisions of the employment agreement are null and void, “injunctive relief is unnecessary as there are no valid clauses to enforce” and the trial, set for May 28, is canceled.
