The Competition Tribunal dismissed a lawsuit by Mr. Marcelo Aracena del Río against his former employer, Monrás y Gunther Ltda., given that no evidence was presented in Tribunal in order to prove the alleged infractions.
Notwithstanding this, the decision analyzes the no competition clause that motivated the lawsuit. The Tribunal stated that clauses of this kind are not against free competition. They are licit commercial agreements, unless it can be proved that they prevent, restrict or hinder free competition, or tend to produce those effects, in a determinate market.
