Take a look at this Michigan Court of Appeals case where the court found an alleged settlement agreement between a former employee and employer was unenforceable because there was no signed writing showing assent to the agreement. The former employer attempted to enforce a non-compete clause, along with other provisions in the settlement agreement, against the former employee and his new employer. Since the settlement agreement was unenforceable, there was no violation of the non-compete agreement and other provisions at issue. The court found that although there appeared to be some form of agreement made, it was nothing more than an AGREEMENT TO AGREE and not an enforceable settlement agreement!
