    JB-24NCvC-66-03/2021 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    Clause 8 was not void under section 28 because it did not operate as a blanket prohibition on the plaintiff carrying on the business of selling petrol/diesel on its own land but instead protected respondent's legitimate interests by restricting use of the 'Petro Teguh' brand, the respondent's marketing/management system and solicitation of the respondent's employees or customers for three years; accordingly the plaintiff may sell petrol/diesel on the property provided it does not use the brand or system or solicit employees/customers in breach of Clause 8.
