I barely covered the costs of my spangled nipple-pasties. Those City boys are rubbish tippers.

Serious question BV, I see no reference to a geographical limitation in those clauses. My understanding was always that there had to be a reasonable limitation, say 'Greater London'. Is that understanding totally wide of the mark? My previous contract limited me to the City of London. So I set up on the far side of London Bridge.

BV can I'm sure comment in more detail and/or more correctly (or through a hungover haze)

The case I described was a global 12 month restriction - the key point is the nature of reasonable will vary case by case, based on the role, seniority, behaviour(to an extent), nature of information, nature of restriction etc

They're not necessarily huge obstacles, for example if the tech knowledge was vacuum cleaners and you moved to a firm that made fridges and vacuum cleaners, you could be employed in the fridge part for the first 12 months, then later move to the vacuum part.

Depends on.... yes, you guessed it, the context.

If the business is international in scope, you can sometimes justify a global restriction.

Giuys, I love you all dearly, but it's a big subject. If you are really into it, read a book about it!

[Actus Reus]

Thanks for answering - that's clear enough.

Good luck OP.

Oh, and BV, a book? About law? I've managed so far without them, so no reason to change now.

Me too! Don't tell anyone! The only reason that I have helped to write part of one is so that then I can say that I have read at least a bit of one law book (well, I've proof read my pupil's intern's work experience trainee's wikipedia cut and paste draft, if that counts as reading), in case anyone challenges me on my impeccable BS credentials.
