MANN, Judge.

The trial judge held that the contract not to engage in a competing business within a reasonable area for a reasonable time was valid but refused to enjoin Cowart from violating his agreement. Fla.Stat. § 542.12, F.S.A. (1969). The establishment of a legal right carries with it a duty on the judge’s part to grant an appropriate remedy. See Akey v. Murphy, Fla.1970, 238 So.2d 94, 95.

Reversed and remanded.

HOBSON, C. J., and LILES, J., concur.
