Questione giuridica chiave
Whether an interim injunction may compel specific performance of a non-compete clause under § 255 lit. d ZPO and Art. 340b Abs. 3 OR.
Decisione estratta
Such relief is available only if the claim is made credible and the employer shows urgency and a serious, hard-to-replace harm; materially, enforcement requires a special written agreement and an interests-based justification going beyond a mere breach of contract.
Motivazione estratta
The court held that provisional enforcement of a non-compete is exceptional because it significantly affects the employee's livelihood. Therefore, the employer must strictly establish the substantive prerequisites, including a significant threat to its interests and a weighing that shows an overriding employer interest. These requirements were not met on the facts.
