Restrictive Covenants & High Court Actions

High Court proceedings are typically brought by senior executives to enforce contractual entitlements under their service agreements.

Employers may also seek to enforce contractual post-termination restrictions (restrictive covenants) by applying for a High Court injunction against a former employee, to prevent them from working in competition.

The process for bringing, or defending, High Court claims is very different to employment tribunal procedures and often requires urgent action and intensive preparation. Our team has considerable experience in handling High Court claims on behalf of employers and senior executives.
