U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 15-2294
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City
[PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Loken and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Employment Contracts. The court predicts the Missouri Supreme
Court would adopt the majority rule and permit assignments of covenants
not to compete and confidentiality agreements to a successor employer
without contemporaneous employee consent; the district court erred in
granting the employees summary judgment based on its conclusion that the
agreements were personal services contacts which could be assigned only
with the employee's contemporaneous consent; remanded for further
proceedings.
