Burleigh v. Center Point Contractors, Inc.
Court of Appeals of Arkansas
1Opinion of the Court
CLIFF HOOFMAN, Judge'
| Appellant Richard Burleigh appeals from the Benton County Circuit Court’s February 10, 2015 order granting a preliminary injunction in favor of appellee Center Point Contractors, Inc. (Center Point). On appeal, Burleigh contends that (1) the noncompete agreement was intended to protect only against ordinary competition and is therefore unenforceable and (2) the circuit court’s additional protections in the preliminary injunction that were not present in the noncompete agreement show that the agreement was unreasonable and not valid as written. We reverse and remand.
