Syllabus

EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE – INJUNCTIVE RELIEF – CONTRACT – NONCOMPETITION RESTRICTIONS: The trial court did not abuse its discretion by granting a cardiothoracic surgeon's motion for a preliminary injunction to prevent his employer from enforcing the noncompetition restrictions in his employment agreement that prevented him from working in contiguous counties for a 12-month period following the termination of his employment where there was no evidence that the surgeon possessed or used the employer's confidential information, and thus no evidence that unfair competition would result from the surgeon's hiring by a hospital within the restricted area and restricted period.
