[quote=Geeman;1513]Stockbear, basically the law frowns at what in legal jargon is refered to as 'contract in restraint of trade' i.e. a situation where an employer by contract, tries to stop an employee from working for a competitor after the employee has left his employment.
While an employee has the right to work for the competition in approriatr circumstances as Geeman said, he has nevertheless has a duty not to disclose information he obtained from his previous employment to his new employer. This, in legal jargon, is an ex-employee's fiduciary duty to his previous employer. In strict law Makoju cannot legally give away the trade secrets of Wapco to Obajana.
