The Supreme Judicial Court held (1) the restrictive covenant was necessary to protect a legitimate business interest (2) Defendant committed a breach of the anti-raiding provision but (3) the use of an equitable remedy to extend the restriction beyond the plain terms of the contract was not warranted without a finding that damages would be inadequate. The judge issued injunctive relief extending the length of the restrictive covenant for an additional year beyond the date provided for in the contract. The superior court judge concluded that the restrictive covenant was enforceable and that Defendant had committed a breach of the covenant.

Defendant, however, hired employees from his former company in breach of the restrictive covenant. The restrictive covenant in this case prohibited Defendant from soliciting or hiring employees from Plaintiff, his former company, for a defined period of time.
