The High Court has rejected Ryanair's attempt to prevent operations chief Peter Bellew from joining rival EasyJet until 2021, saying a 12-month non-compete clause was unenforceable

During two weeks of hearings, Ryanair argued that Mr Bellew possessed information of significant competitive value.

Former Malaysia Airlines chief executive Mrr Bellew denied he was subject to the clause, which was attached to a share option scheme he said was valueless, and argued that the restriction was overly broad. Judge Senan Allen said that although the non-compete clause was valid, it was unjustifiably restrictive by preventing Mr Bellew from joining any airline, not just those in the same market segment as Ryanair.
