Fields Foundation, Ltd. v. Christensen
Court of Appeals of Wisconsin

1Opinion of the CourtGartzke, P. J.
Fields Foundation operates Midwest Medical Center, an abortion clinic in Madison. Dr. Dennis Christensen was the Center’s medical director from 1977 through 1979. Fields brought this action against Christensen to enforce a covenant not to compete in Christensen’s employment contract and for damages for breach of that contract and for defamation. The covenant restricts Christensen from engaging in a medical practice or business which is similar to the type conducted at the Center within fifty miles of the state capítol in Madison for two years after termination of his employment.
