Question:

IT/NET Inc. did consulting work for various government departments. The practice was for such government departments to publish a request for proposals (RFP) and the consultant company would respond by finding someone to fulfill the position and submit a proposal, including that person’s résumé. In this case Leonard Cameron was contracted by IT/NET Inc. to fulfill such a service contract with the Department of National Defence (DND). The position was that of a UNIX system administrator and it was extended because of DND needs. The DND wanted to extend it again, but because of a dispute as to how long his contract with IT/NET would run, Cameron informed the DND that he would not extend it beyond May 31. He left at that time. The DND again posted the position to start on June 1. In the meantime, Cameron contacted FPC, a competitor of IT/NET, allowing it to use his résumé when applying for the contract. FPC was successful, and he resumed his position with the DND, only now working for FPC instead of IT/NET. However, his contract with IT/NET contained a non-solicitation and a non-competition restrictive covenant. This action was brought to determine whether these provisions were binding. Note that there was a time limit but no geographical limitation stated. Indicate the likely outcome.
