Zaha Hadid Ltd v The Zaha Hadid Foundation [2026] EWCA Civ 192 (27 February 2026)
The Court of Appeal held that a trade mark licence of indefinite duration was terminable by either party on reasonable notice, and was not a restraint of trade.
Both the non-competition and modified non-solicitation clauses are reasonable, necessary, and enforceable to protect PLMR's legitimate business interests in confidential information and customer connection; injunctive relief is appropriate as damages are inadequate and no countervailing factors justify refusal.
Source excerpt
The Claimant failed to establish that MiSmile Media Ltd was in competition with Kau Media Group Limited or that it had a legitimate proprietary interest requiring protection by the PTRs. The non-compete clause was overly broad and unreasonable, and the non-solicitation/non-dealing clause was not engaged or justified. The restrictions were not proportionate or necessary, and lacked evidentiary support for enforcement.

Mr Wishart breached restrictive covenants in the SPA and Investment Agreement and fiduciary duties as director of Spill Topco by advancing funds and providing assistance to rival businesses, thereby becoming 'concerned' in competing businesses within the meaning of the covenants and violating his duty of loyalty. The restrictive covenants are reasonable and enforceable restraints of trade. No separate actionable misuse of confidential information was established.
