Data Supplies, Inc. v. Cowart
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided November 13, 1970 · Hobson, Liles, Mann
240 So. 2d 829; 1970 Fla. App. LEXIS 5658 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Data Supplies, Inc. v. Cowart

Opinion of the Court

MANN, Judge.

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.

HOBSON, C. J., and LILES, J., concur.
