Joseph Karlin, Plaintiff-Respondent v. Harvey Weinberg, Defendant-Appellant

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that post‑employment restrictive covenants for physicians are not per se unreasonable and are enforceable when they protect a legitimate employer interest, impose no undue hardship on the employee, and are not injurious to the public. The Court rejected the trial court’s summary‑judgment dismissal and distinguished the attorney case Dwyer v. Jung as inapplicable to physicians.
