The Court of Appeals, First District, affirmed the decision of the trial court. Woodward Ins., Inc. v. White, (1981) Ind. App., 425 N.E.2d 258. The questions presented for our review are whether the trial court properly entered summary judgment in finding that the covenant not to compete contained in the stock purchase offer to White was void and unenforceable, and also whether the insurance company's customer information constitutes trade secrets and confidential information, thereby making use of such information by a former employee constitute unfair competition.
Because the covenant is unreasonable as applied to the facts of this case and incapable of redaction, we hold that the covenant is unenforceable, as a matter of law, and the trial court erred, therefore, in upholding the terms of the covenant. We note for the benefit of appellants' counsel that our decision in Woodward Insurance, Inc. v. White, (1981) Ind. App., 425 N.E.2d 258 was vacated by our supreme court at 437 N.E.2d 59 on July 19, 1982. The appellants' brief was filed April 13, 1983.
