Supreme Court concludes restraint of trade was unreasonable and unenforceable in the War of the Roses

Justice Sackar held that the restrictive covenant relied upon by the plaintiff operated as an unreasonable restraint of trade, was anti-competitive, against the interests of the parties, especially the defendants, and against the public interest.
