Legislator-Zusammenfassung

KI-generiert

The Supreme Court quashed the lower court's dismissal of the plaintiff's claim for damages regarding a non-compete agreement. The court held that while the employer failed to pay the agreed penalty in full, this constituted delayed performance rather than a breach of the non-compete obligation itself. Consequently, the court ruled that civil law penalty clauses are applicable to post-employment non-compete agreements but must be adjusted according to labor law principles regarding employer risk and employee liability.

Art. 483 k.c.; Art. 300 k.p.; Art. 1011 § 1 k.p.; Art. 1011 § 2 k.p.; Art. 1 k.p.: Post-employment non-compete agreements are governed by civil law principles allowing penalty clauses, yet such clauses must be interpreted and adjusted in light of labor law principles concerning the specific risks of the employer and the limited material liability of the former employee.
