Højesteret skal nu tage stilling til, om en arbejdsgiver kan opsige en konkurrenceklausul, som er ugyldig efter en driftsmæssigt begrundet opsigelse af ansættelsesforholdet , for dermed at undgå at betale kompensation.
Den fortabte konkurrenceklausul
En virksomhed kunne ikke opnå forbud mod en tidligere medarbejders konsulentarbejde for en konkurrent. Byretten havde fundet, at virksomheden havde fortabt muligheden for at håndhæve konkurrenceklausulen, og landsretten afviste kæremålet, fordi klausulperioden var udløbet.
Funktionær eller ej(er)?
En kundeklausul indgået i en ejeraftale kunne ikke opretholdes, fordi kapitalejeren reelt skulle betragtes som funktionær.
Bordet fangede – til sidst
En kundeklausul efter funktionærloven kunne opretholdes i en ny ansættelseskontrakt, selvom ansættelsesklausulloven var trådt i kraft. Bordet fangede dog, da medarbejderen i forbindelse med opsigelsen modtog og skrev under på en klausul på andre vilkår.
Klausul som ejer eller ansat?
En konkurrenceklausul indgået i en ejeraftale kunne opretholdes fuldt ud, selvom kapitalejeren havde afhændet sine kapitalandele, var fortsat som medarbejder og siden blev opsagt.
