AMCOM of Louisiana, Inc. v. Battson green
la · 1996
2 sentences

2012Relying on AMCOM of Louisiana, Inc. v. Battson, 96-0319 (La.3/29/96), 670 So.2d 1223 , the trial court reformed the noncompetition clause by striking from the noncompetition agreement the potentially unenforceable addendum, “and any other parish or county in which Employer or an affiliated rural health clinic renders medical services as of the Termination Date (the “Restricted Area”).” After denying the defendant’s exceptions, the trial court granted a preliminary and permanent injunction in favor of WCHS.

2011In light of this severability clause which reflects the parties’ intent and in accordance with this court’s decision in AMCOM [of Louisiana, Inc. v. Battson, 06-319 (La.3/29/96), 670 So.2d 1223 ], we, like the court of appeal below, will sever the null clause from the Agreement.
