California Court of Appeal Broadens Scope of Wrongful Termination

Friday, August 6th, 2010 | Noncompete Litigation, Noncompetition Litigation

The Court of Appeal held in Silguero v. Creteguard, Inc. that an employer can be liable for wrongful termination when firing an employee for having signed an unenforceable non-compete agreement with their prior employer. Under Tameny, employers cannot terminate employees for a reason that is contrary to public policy. The court ruled that honoring an unenforceable non-compete agreement violates the public policy declared in Section 16600 of the California Business and Professions Code which favors employee mobility and open competition amongst employers.
