Description
1 Appellant, Michael Wiest, appeals from the November 30, 2001 order of the Court of Common Pleas of Lehigh County directing him to pay $14,979.63 in attorney fees and costs to Appellee, Profit Wize Marketing t/a Executrain of Allentown & Harrisburg (""Executrain""). Upon review, we reverse. The relevant facts and procedural history are as follows. 2 On February 1, 2000, Appellant, a sales representative, entered into an employment contract with Executrain, a company providing computer-training services to customers throughout Pennsylvania. This contract not only outlined the terms of Appellant's employment with Executrain, but also contained standard non-compete and confidentiality covenants in the event that Appellant's employment would terminate. The contract further provided that, in the event of litigation between the parties, Employee recognizes and agrees that the ascertainment of damages in the event of Employee's breach or violation of any covenant or undertaking contained in this Agreement would be difficult, if not impossible, and further that the various rights and duties created hereunder are extraordinary and unique so that the Employer will suffer irreparable injury that cannot adequately be compensated by monetary damages in the event of Employee's breach or violation of any covenant or undertaking contained in this Agreement. Employee, therefore, agrees that the Employer, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the immediate right to obtain a preliminary or final injunction against Employee.... Employee further agrees that if Employer prevails in any suit or action under this Agreement, Employee shall reimburse Employer for its expenses incurred in connection with such suit or action, including without limitation, its attorney's fees and costs.
