X-R Touring LLP (claimant/appellant) v Javor & Anr (defendants/respondents)
Thursday 6 March 2025
The Claimant appeals the order of Kerr J, sitting in the King’s Bench Division dated 13 March 2024 striking out C’s claim based on a commission provision contained in contract of employment between C and D1.
The judge held that the commission provision was an unreasonable restraint of trade and unenforceable.
The background is that C is a booking agency in the music industry. D1 was employed as an agent making bookings for artists. His contract contained a provision that if he or his new employer received commission from bookings made prior to termination of his employment (whether or not such bookings took place at end of his employment) then he should pay that commission to C.
