Dwyer v. Jung
New Jersey Superior Court, Chancery Division
133 N.J. Super. 343, 336 A.2d 498 (1975)
- Written by Sara Rhee, JD
Facts
On January 1, 1973, Edmond Dwyer (plaintiff), Albert Lisbona (plaintiff), and Fred Jung (defendant) entered a law partnership agreement. The agreement included a list designating certain clients to each partner. The agreement provided that, upon termination of the partnership, each partner would be prohibited from doing business with a client designated for another partner. On June 1, 1974, the parties dissolved the partnership, and the plaintiffs thereafter brought an action for an accounting. Jung counterclaimed, arguing that the plaintiffs violated the partnership agreement by attempting to do business with his designated clients. The plaintiffs argued that the provision relied upon by Jung was void as against public policy.
