A Quebec Court of Appeal rules that THQ is permitted to hire former Ubisoft employees with "non-compete clauses in their contracts, reports Develop. This overturns a legal decision from March that prohibited THQ from hiring staff with such language in their agreements. The court ruling says the publisher is "not bound by any non-competition restrictions and was therefore free to solicit any Ubisoft employee," as long as this "did not amount to unfair competition."
