Supreme Court quashes appeal ruling for damages from non-employment contract non-compete clause. Court finds clause valid between employer and employee. Court remands case for proper damages assessment.

The Supreme Court quashed the appellate court's judgment dismissing the plaintiff's claim for damages resulting from adherence to a non-compete clause. The plaintiff argued the clause was invalid because it governed a civil-law director role rather than an employment relationship, while the defendant contended it was a valid civil contract. The court ruled that the clause was validly concluded between the employer and employee and remanded the case to the appellate court to assess damages based on the plaintiff's 1991 salary.
