Watson v. Waffle House, Inc.

How courts have described this case

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

• considering the relative bargaining power of the parties in deciding whether a lease agreement was more like a sale of a business or an employment agreement
• applying strict standard of reasonableness to non-competition covenant contained in employment contract
• discussing overbreadth of restriction of employment in business “in any capacity”
• the key inquiry in determining the level of scrutiny is the relative bargaining power of the parties
• non-competition covenant connected to the sale of a business may be more broadly construed than one related to an employment contract because “a contract for the sale of a business interest is far more likely to be one entered into by parties on equal footing”
