160 Ariz. 213 (1989)

772 P.2d 36

John BRYCELAND dba Johnny B's Disc Jockey Express, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Barry NORTHEY and Jane Doe Northey, husband and wife, and Jonathan L. Malvin and Jane Doe Malvin dba Maestro Entertainment Services, Defendants-Appellants.

Court of Appeals of Arizona, Division 1, Department D.

April 4, 1989.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Steven T. Augenstein, Mesa, for plaintiff-appellee.

John D. Lewis, Tempe, for defendants-appellants.


OPINION

KLEINSCHMIDT, Judge.

This case presents questions about the construction and application of language in a contract that the appellee characterizes as a covenant not to compete. We agree that the language constitutes such a covenant, but we find that the restriction it creates is unreasonably broad and should not be enforced. We therefore reverse the judgment.
