: Delaware Business Litigation ReportCourt of Chancery Enforces Non-Compete Agreement
By Morris James LLP
Concord Steel Inc. v. Wilmington Steel Processing Co. Inc., C.A. 3369-VCP ( September 30, 2009).
This is another in a line of decisions enforcing agreements not to compete. What is striking about this case is the apparent utter disbelief of the defendants that the agreement would actually be enforced. Defendants in these cases seem to think that, if they are not actually engaged in the exact same business as the other party to their agreement not to compete, the Court will say there is "no harm, no foul." Wrong!
Agreements not to compete may cover not just exactly the same business but any line of work that may be a substitute for a business' normal work. In any case, it is the language of the agreement that counts, and this decision illustrates that point.
