It cost me almost half a million dollars over 6 years to defend myself against a lawsuit that would have otherwise been dismissed had it genuinely been the case that non-competes were unenforceable by statute. The commencement of the lawsuit: https://www.so-co-it.com/post/222748/orbixa-technologies-suing-jitneytrade-and-co-conspirators-for-41-900-000.html https://www.so-co-it.com/post/222748/orbixa-technologies-sui... The settlement: https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/jitneytrade-inc-announces-settlement-agreement-850632086.html https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/jitneytrade-inc-announ... For the most part that settlement happened because the company suing me went bankrupt and its successor didn't feel like continuing to pay legal fees for a case they knew they would lose. Ordinarily I'd be able to recoup legal fees, but I was advised that recouping fees from a bankrupt entity is all but impossible.
