Non-compete breach dismissed when defendant joined inactive company with no competitive activity or preparatory steps.

The Supreme Court partially set aside the appellate court's judgment, remanding the case for a new decision on costs. The plaintiff argued that joining a new company violated his non-compete clause, while the lower courts found no actual competitive activity occurred. The court ruled that mere membership in a company with no business operations or preparatory actions does not constitute a breach of the non-compete agreement.
