Supreme Court quashes labor court judgment on non-compete penalty, remanding for fact-finding on damages and scope.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment regarding a non-compete agreement penalty and remanded the case for a new trial. The lower court had found the employee violated the non-compete clause but failed to sufficiently specify the scope of prohibited activities and the exact damages caused. The Supreme Court ruled that factual findings on damages and the specific scope of the breach cannot be challenged in cassation proceedings, as such issues require direct evidence evaluation by the trial court.
