How courts have described this case

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

• holding that covenant's prohibition on the employee-doctor from practicing \health care of every nature and kind\ was unreasonable where the doctor had been employed to practice in the specialty of ophthalmology
• determining that a contract contained (1) an unenforceable restriction on working for a competitor and (2) an enforceable restriction on solicitation
• involving a contract with separate restrictive covenants—one of which was unenforceable, the other enforceable
• term prohibiting former employee from soliciting “former, current or future” patients or employees was overly broad and unenforceable
• despite explicit provision allowing court to modify terms of covenant if it was found to be unreasonable, court was still unwilling to add terms that were not part of original agreement
