validity of contract term

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 18 June 2010 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,

A contract which has a restrictive condition not to carry on similar practice for the contract period and one year thereafter will be enforceable if the contract term is already expired and the person commenced practice after the contract term but within the one year restriction imposed in the contract document. Will that one year condition imposed and the breach of that can be enforceable in law ?

Thank you for valuable advise.

If the condition imposed in the contract is breached,the other party has legal right to apply for injunction and also claim punitive damages.

Further clarification is will that restrictive term in the contract not prohibited term under Section 27 of the contract act, making that term as void ? The term imposing restriction is from carrying on professional practice even one year after the contract period. Pls. advise.
