Recent Employment Relations Authority determination around Restraints of Trade
If you’ve been listening to Paws Claws & Wet Noses for a while you’ll have heard me comment quite a few times that Restraint of Trade clauses can stand up in a court of law provided they’re worded correctly… just this week there was a high-profile case with a journalist who made the headlines – Tova O’Brien.
O’Brien took the dispute to the ERA – the Employment Relations Authority – which involved a three-day hearing - after mediation failed.
She lost her ERA case with her former workplace - and was ordered to pay $2,000.
O'Brien contested a restraint of trade clause in her contract with Discovery, would prevent her from launching her new breakfast talk radio show at MediaWorks for three months.
She argued to the ERA that her soon-to-be role as a breakfast radio host is not similar to her role as political editor on TV3.
The contractual clause is based on the notion that O'Brien is teaming up with a direct competitor of Discovery's Newshub.
The ERA ordered O'Brien to comply with modified terms of restraint of trade and to pay $2000 for "breaches of her employment agreement".
