Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the covenant not to open a competing business is determined to be unreasonable, the appropriate remedy would be reformation. Reformation is a remedy where a court can revise or rewrite a portion of a contract to make it enforceable and fair. The court may modify the covenant to make the restrictions more reasonable, rather than completely invalidating the covenant.
