I suspect Guy meant a different case. IIRC the CP vs. RG case was
about a CP manager who went to do a very similar job for RG. CP sued
but lost, the court saying that the freedom of occupation law
superceded the non-compete clause the guy had in his CP contract.

This case is often cited by employers in the context of "don't worry
about the non-compete clause, it cannot eb enforced anyway". You hear
that - suggest that it should be dropped altogether then. If anyone
does drop it - do let me know, for the sake of my curiousity.

It is unreasonable to think that this case sets a prwecedent for each
and every situation. IANAL, but one nuance that struck me when I tried
to think of implications on my own was that the person was (IIRC) a
managerial type. Does this apply to a techie who carries a real
technological edge in his (or her) head? Dunno...
