John enters an agreement to buy H&S Diner from Henry and
Sally for $500,000. The contract has a non-compete agreement that
lasts for 8 years, that states that John cannot sell frozen food
anywhere in the state. Two months after the sale has completed,
John decides he wants to sell frozen food, violating the
non-compete agreement. He tells Henry and Sally they must pay him
an additional $50,000 if they do not want him to sell frozen food.
Henry and Sally agree to pay him this extra $50,000 because they
are worried of litigation. Five months later, they still have not
paid John however, and he begins selling the frozen good and John
sues for the $50,000. Henry and Sally countersue John for breaching
the contract by not honoring the non-compete clause.
