Florida District Courts of Appeal
Data Supplies, Inc. v. Cowart, 240 So. 2d 829 (1970)
1970 Fla. App. LEXIS 5658
Hobson, Liles, Mann
Data Supplies, Inc. v. Cowart
Opinion of the Court
The trial judge held that the contract not to engage in a competing business within a reasonable area for a reasonable time was valid but refused to enjoin Cowart from violating his agreement. Fla.Stat. § 542.12, F.S.A. (1969). The establishment of a legal right carries with it a duty on the judge’s part to grant an appropriate remedy. See Akey v. Murphy, Fla.1970, 238 So.2d 94, 95.
Reversed and remanded.
