Non-compete clause invalid without explicit time limit; employer failed to define duration in employment contract.
Polonia (PL)
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court quashed the lower court's judgment regarding a non-compete clause due to the employer's failure to specify a duration. The court found that the employment contract authorized signing the agreement but did not grant separate authority to define the non-compete's time limit, which is a mandatory element under Polish law. Consequently, the clause was deemed ineffective as the essential requirement of defining the period was missing.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IAArt. 1012 § 1 zd. 2 k.p.; Art. 203 k.h.: A non-compete clause is ineffective if the duration is not explicitly defined in the contract, as the authority to sign the employment agreement does not extend to defining the terms of a separate non-compete agreement.
