Asked on Dec 12, 2023
Employee contract, such as non compete/non solicit, could having this contract ever result in criminal/jail time?
If someone accuses you of fraud, because they believe you never had intended to honor your employment contract such as non-compete/non-solicit. Could this ever become a criminal case, resulting in criminal/jail time?

No, at worst, it is a breach of a contract which is a civil matter to be handled in civil court.
