Dissenting Opinion

HOUSTON, Justice

(dissenting).

I am persuaded that the law of Kentucky must be applied in interpreting the noncom-petition agreement on which this injunction action is based and in determining whether that agreement is enforceable. See Seymour v. Buckley, 628 So.2d 554, 557-58 (Ala. 1993). The trial court erred in applying Alabama law. Therefore, I would reverse the judgment and remand this case for the trial court to apply the law of Kentucky.
