He's got a point though, those restraint clauses are just big companies trying to lock blokes out of working. Reckon he'll win.
nah get stuffed, he was a high level exec, not some minimum wage worker. Different rules mate.
Wonder what the actual contract said. Probably some obscure clause that was hidden in the fine print. Classic corporate BS.
Restraint of trade clauses are always a joke. If they wanna stop you competing they should pay you for it. This guy left and started his own thing, good on him I say.
Worked in parking industry for years. Wilsons are absolute sharks. They'll drag this out in court just to make an example of him. Poor bastard.
Exactly. They don't care about the individual, just making an example.

Hard to feel sorry for a bloke that was the boss of Wilson Parking. He knew what he signed. But yeah the clause sounds rough.
on. They've got more lawyers than common sense.
Hope he wins. These giant companies think they can control people's lives long after they leave. Unenforceable clauses should be banned.
Is this the same company that fined me $75 for being 5 minutes late?
fined for 5 mins late is wild. They don't even give you a grace period. Scum.
for being 5 mins late is rough but that's Wilsons for ya. Bunch of wankers.
Restraint of trade is pretty hard to enforce these days anyway. Courts generally side with the little guy.
rules but same principle mate. A deal's a deal but only if it's fair.
You're right but also wrong lol. Everyone deserves a fair go.
Kiwis need to stop letting corporations push them around. This is the kind of story where public opinion actually matters.
Watch them settle out of court cos they know they'll lose.
