HOME PARAMOUNT PEST CONTROL v. Shaffer

How courts have described this case

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

• holding a restrictive covenant overbroad – and hence unenforceable — because it prohibited any involvement, even as a passive investor, in the pest control business
• describing that, while function elements of restrictive provisions are weighed together with scope and duration elements, the clear overbreadth of the function element cannot be saved by narrow drafting of scope and duration
• “On its face, it prohibits [the former employee] from working . . . [for] any other business in the pest control industry in any capacity.”
