usiness Law Simulation Exercise for Managers: Contracts Part 2: Mediation Simulation Introduction: In this simulation, students analyze the Stipulated Facts and Longville case law and then work towards mediating a tenable solution to the dispute Assignment: In addition to the Stipulated Facts in Part 1, assume that NA and Blackwell agreed that they would submit to a private mediation. Assume further that the parties have agreed to avoid any contract formation or defense issues and narrow the dispute to one single issue, namely the enforceability of the restrictive non-compete covenant in the Blackwell Employment Agreement. Review the Concept Summaries and your notes from Chapters 6 and 7 in the textbook. Study the Stipulated Facts and Longville case law in the Simulation Exercise. The facts and cases should be read with the goal of understanding the differences and similarities between the court cases and the stipulated facts in the Neurological Associates v. Blackwell case so that groups can work towards a resolution that achieves the primary objectives of both parties. You should attempt to re-draft a more detailed and enforceable restrictive covenant that achieves, as best as possible, the objectives of each party: For NA, the protection of their legitimately protectible interests (trade secrets, goodwill and investments); for Blackwell, the ability to work within a reasonably defined area. Essentially this is asking you to draft proposed a proposed restrictive covenant from the perspective of NA and also a proposed restrictive covenant from Blackwell Acting as a mediator given the slightly divergent purposes of the 2 parties, draft a compromise restrictive covenant that would balance the interests of both parties.
