Meaning of Non-Compete Clause side by side with Section 27
Recently the Hon’ble Calcutta High Court in the matter of Dr. Sudipta Banerjee vs L.S. Davar & Company & Ors on 5th April, 2022, FMAT 735 of 2021, has examined the Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act,1872 and observed that “In my view, Mr. Banerjee is correct in contending that any restrictive clause prohibiting the respondents to carry on business same or similar in nature would be void and hit by Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act as our law has not advanced as much as the English Common Law over the years. The time has possibly come to have a re-look at Section 27 of the Indian Contract Act since times have changed and there is a necessity to impose some restrictions and recognize negative covenants in service contracts especially where it involves specialized knowledge as it must live up to the present needs. While freedom of contract and trade need to be upheld, they must also be balanced. No one should be allowed to take advantage of the trade secrets and confidential information developed by an individual and use it for their own gain and when confronted, take the shelter of this section. Confidential information and trade secrets are required to be protected by law”.
Did you know
Did you know that delivery persons are often referred to as ‘gig workers’? Gig is a slang term that refers to the workers outside of the traditional employer-employee relationship including freelancers, and workers who are employed on a contractual basis with their employers. However, there are still no laws in India that define their or even defend their rights. They even lack the status of an employee resulting in several restrictions, such as an inability to form unions to represent their interests and exploitative contacts. However, Rajasthan is the first state to enact Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Act, 2023.
