Eli5: how exactly can companies enforce non-compete contracts? How is it their business what company you go to, and how would they even know?
In: 11
Same way as any contract is enforced – by taking the matter to court. If the judge finds that the contract was breached and the law allows for these types of contracts and court action to enforce them, the judge may award damages and order stopping whatever activity was breaching the contract.
Damages are money/cash, and usually based on the judge’s estimate of how much loss was caused by the breach, but can also include punitive damages (punishment) if the law allows for it.
