Non-compete clause without employer compensation obligation is void due to violation of freedom of work.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that voided a non-compete clause. The plaintiff argued for damages based on the clause, while the defendant contended it was invalid because it lacked a reciprocal obligation for the employer to pay compensation. The court held that before the relevant law change, such a clause was void as it unilaterally penalized the employee without guaranteeing compensation, violating freedom of work.
