Question juridique clé
Whether the non-compete clause barred the employee from any activity with a direct competitor or only personal competing activity
Solution extraite
The clause, read objectively, covered the employee’s own competing activity, whether on his own account or for another, not any work in a competing company.
Motifs extraits
The wording of the contract did not clearly show that the parties intended a far-reaching prohibition extending to all work for a competitor; no reason existed to depart from the text.
