Nw. Podiatry Ctr. v. Ochwat (Summary)

RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Nw. Podiatry Ctr. v. Ochwat, No. 1-12-0458 (Ill. App. Ct. May 8, 2013)

The Appellate Court of Illinois affirmed in part and reversed in part a trial court’s decision to allow a preliminary injunction preventing two podiatrists from treating a podiatry center’s patients.  The two were employed by the podiatry center and both had contracts with varying restrictions.  Both resigned the same year and began a different podiatric specialist group.  Two additional employees left the center to join them.  The appellate court interpreted various aspects of the contracts.
