How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • trial court vacating an injunction did “not answer the question whether the trial court erred by entering the injunction in the first place”
  • before GRCA, noting that Georgia courts generally did not blue- pencil overly broad restrictive covenants
  • “Even if only a portion of a non-compete clause in an employment contract would be unenforceable, the entire covenant must fail because this [c]ourt will not apply the blue-pencil theory of severability to such restrictive covenants.”
  • court erred in issuing ruling contrary to terms of parties’ agreement
  • The Supreme Court concluded that the trial court erred in issuing an injunction that enforced a non-compete clause in an employment contract because the clause was unlimited as to duration and territory and, thus, invalid as a matter of law.
