Contracts In Restraint Of Trade PDF Download

Excerpt from Contracts in Restraint of Trade Since the publication of the last edition of this short treatise the application of the restraint of trade doctrine as between employer and employed has been modified in no small degree by the trend of modern decisions. The days of Shylock and his bond are over, and the quality of mercy is now strained in favour of the employe. This branch of the law relating to restraints contained in service agreements has recently been the subject of an important decision of the House of Lords in Mason's Case. But there is another and even more interesting aspect of the doctrine which within the last year has been considered both by the House of Lords and by the Privy Council. Since this work first saw the light - nearly twenty years ago - powerful amalgamations and associations of manufacturers have grown up in almost all the large industries, and the doctrine of restraint of trade has become of paramount importance with reference to combinations of this character.
