Fletcher Aluminium Ltd v O'Sullivan [2001] 2 NZLR 731 is a cited case in New Zealand regarding that a restrictive covenant in a business sale may be enforceable even if there is no goodwill involved.
Fletcher Aluminium, interested in the designs, entered into an agreement with him to purchase the designs for $1.7 million, as well as giving him a job as a franchise manager.
Part of the agreement included a restraint of trade clause.
Later, O'Sullivan undertook employment from a rival firm, and Fletchers sought to enforce the restraint of trade agreement.
