The Cease And Desist Letter Non Compete is a critical legal tool used in New Zealand when an organization needs to enforce non-compete provisions against former employees or contractors who are violating their contractual obligations. This document is typically employed when there is clear evidence that a former employee is engaging in competitive activities within the restricted period and geographic area specified in their non-compete agreement. The letter must comply with New Zealand employment law principles, particularly regarding the reasonableness of restraint of trade provisions under the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 and the Employment Relations Act 2000. It should outline specific violations, provide evidence, state demands clearly, and set reasonable compliance deadlines. This document often serves as a prerequisite to legal proceedings and demonstrates the employer's attempt to resolve the matter formally before pursuing court action.
