Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the covenant not to open a competing business is determined to be unreasonable, the appropriate remedy is typically reformation, which would involve modifying the covenant to make it reasonable rather than completely voiding it. This could involve reducing the geographic scope or duration of the covenant. Damages, rescission, and specific performance are unlikely to be appropriate remedies in this situation.
