Question:
In December 2015, Joan Jett bought the candy store known as "Sweet Dreams" from Molly Cass. Sweet Dreams was located on 5th Street in Sunnyville. As part of the contract, Molly Cass was not permitted to compete against Jett in any way for 5 years. In January 2019, Cass opened up a smoothie store on 6th Street in Sunnyville called "California Dreaming." The smoothie flavors were all California beach themed. After being open for 3 months and the smoothie business going very well, Cass was served with a lawsuit from Jett for breach of contract. Cass claimed the contract was void because it unfairly restricted trade.
- Using the appropriate legal standard, discuss whether the non-compete contract between Jett and Cass should be enforceable by Jett.
- If a court finds in favor of Jett, what type of contractual remedy is most likely to be awarded to Jett? Why?
