Martin argued the covenant was overbroad, superseded by a later employment agreement, and a prohibited restraint of trade under section 431.202, RSMo. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding the covenant reasonable as modified, not superseded, and that section 431.202 did not apply to this type of non-compete agreement.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","contracts","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=149473","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/mfa-oil-company-plaintiff-respondent-v-kevin-martin-and-martin-propane-ll-d36063","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":36,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
