Practice question
A valid clause restricts only a defined competing business. A former employee undertakes an unrelated activity outside that definition within the period, and no indirect competitive involvement or other duty is proved. Which is sound?
- Every outside job necessarily falls within every clause.
- A clause limited to one business automatically covers all occupations.
- The employer may ignore the agreed activity limit.
- A new job conclusively proves disclosure of secrets.
- The stated facts do not establish breach merely because the employee works elsewhere.
