Employee successfully claims non-binding non-compete obligation after employer fails to prove special information importance.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that declared a post-employment non-compete agreement void. The employee argued the agreement was invalid because he did not possess special confidential information, while the employer failed to prove such information existed or that the employee had access to it. The court upheld the lower court's finding that the employer bore the burden of proving the necessity of the non-compete, which was not met.
