As I’m currently looking at options of leaving current job and going self-employed I’ve looked at my current contract and some of the clauses in there.
- One states I can’t deal with the same suppliers whom I currently deal with (they are generic suppliers and provider services to everyone and aren’t affiliated just with my current company) which effectively is saying I can’t do my job if I went solo.
- Another states that I can’t set up within 8km of the office I work in (I live 5km from my current office and would be registered address).
Are these actual things that would stand up in court or are they pretty flagrant?
