If the court finds the clause in the contract of sale to be reasonable, Mary will want an injunction as her remedy to prevent Ruth from continuing to operate her craft store. If the court finds the clause to be unreasonable, it may imply a more reasonable restriction into the contract, such as limiting the distance Ruth can open a similar store to one mile instead of three miles.
