Colombia Heart Case Summary

Improved Essays
The main issue for this case is whether or not Dr. Baugh and Dr. Feldman’s noncompete agreements with Colombia Heart were in fact enforceable. Originally, on the trial court level, they agreed with the doctors in their suit against Colombia Heart, stating that the noncompete provision was unenforceable, and their actions were admissable. Colombia Heart brought it up on appeals. The case was ultimately reversed in their favor, as on appeal they disagreed and found that the noncompete agreements were actually enforceable, and that the doctors were in the wrong, and that they were not able to go and practice on their own due to the agreements they had as shareholders.
I find this to be really interesting actually. I do not quite entirely know
