Quilter Private Client Advisers Limited v Falconer
[2020] EWHC 3294 (QB)
Key Principle
Post-termination non-compete, non-solicitation and non-dealing covenants that are not tailored to the individual employee's actual role, seniority and length of service are unreasonably wide and void as restraints of trade; a 'one size fits all' standard-form covenant unsupported by a proportionate legitimate interest will not be enforced.
