Talk:Restraint of trade/Archives/2015

Correct? Worldwide view?
This article seems to be about the English common law of restraint of trade, which is mainly of importance to non-compete provisions in employment and transfer of business contracts. The case law discussed is all English and very old, although for some mysterious reason there are badly-formatter links to two Scottish cases at the bottom (with no discussion of them). I have corrected some obvious errors and duplication, and moved the ancient history section to the bottom. I could (at some point when I have time) try to check that what is left is not too wrong. I don't know what "Wilberforce (1966) 7" refers to but I worry that the history section (including the seemingly irrelevant bit on consideration) might have been copied from there.

Before worrying about that, I wonder whether some attention should be given to the lack of a worldwide (or at least common law wide) view. Could anyone who understands the state of US, Canadian, Australian, anywhere-else-relevant law on these matters please comment on whether the old English principles apply there, and whether there is anything interesting to say?

Many red cites in text
There are many red entries for nonexistent internal links to cases. (The look like this: nonexistent case cite.)

Would somebody (perhaps whoever cited them in the first place) care to write the articles repredented by the nonexistent red entries ? It would improve the article. Thank you. PraeceptorIP (talk) 21:20, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
