Målet rör en konkurrensklausul i ett samarbetsavtal. I målet aktualiseras frågan om konkurrensklausulens och vitets skälighet. Högsta domstolen har meddelat prövningstillstånd med utgångspunkt i vad hovrätten funnit om vilka som är parter till samarbetsavtalet, att hävningen varit obefogad samt att konkurrensklausulen inte är ogiltig enligt 2 kap. 1 och 6 §§ konkurrenslagen (2008:579).
