New York Court of Appeals
Brown & Brown, Inc., Appellants v. Theresa A. Johnson, Respondents
June 11, 201525 N.Y.3d 364
Summary
The New York Court of Appeals held that the Florida choice‑of‑law provision in the employment agreement is unenforceable as it violates New York public policy, that the non‑solicitation covenant is overbroad and therefore unenforceable, and that the lower court’s dismissal of the breach‑of‑contract claim was improper, so the summary‑judgment motion was denied and the case remanded.
