Non-compete agreement liability persists even if former employee does not compete after employment ends.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by an employee against his former employer regarding a non-compete agreement. The court found that the employer remained bound to pay agreed compensation for one year after the employment relationship ended, as no separate agreement was finalized to terminate the non-compete obligation. Consequently, the employer's claim that the employee did not compete was rejected because the employee's response to a press announcement did not constitute actual competitive activity.
