Non-competition clause scope must be specific but general terms suffice for company directors with full access.
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court's decision to reject a non-competition clause claim. The plaintiff, a former CEO, argued the clause lacked specificity, while the defendant contended it was valid under Polish law. The court ruled that while specific scope is generally required, a general prohibition is acceptable for directors with access to all critical information, as listing every detail would risk omitting damaging data.
Regesto Legislator
Generato dall'IAArt. 1012 k.p.; Art. 1011 § 1 k.p.: A non-competition clause following employment termination must specify its scope; however, for members of corporate organs with access to all vital information, a general prohibition formula satisfies this requirement without needing a detailed catalog.
