overreaching definition
overreaching on party outwits or cheats the other “by artifice or cunning, or by exploiting a significant disparity in understanding of the nature of the transaction.
overreaching has been interpreted to mean that the covenants, despite their overbroad nature, nonetheless fail to recognize the “known and obvious” requirements of New York law, presumably at the time of their creation. See ▇▇▇▇▇, Stackrow & Co., C.P.A.’s, P.C. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 9 A.D.3d 805, 808, 780 N.Y.S.2d 675, 678 (3rd Dept. 2004) (holding that partial enforcement was not available because to “require defendant to sign the agreement after the issuance of BDO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, which deemed unreasonable a similar anti-competition agreement prohibiting the solicitation of an accounting firm's entire client base and served as notice to plaintiff that the agreement at issue here was also overly broad” justified declining to partially enforce a restrictive covenant); ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇, Inc. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, 158 A.D.3d 1148, 1149, 71 N.Y.S.3d 255 (4th Dept. 2018) (holding that “the fact that the agreement provides for partial enforcement of the non-solicitation covenant, which is clearly over-broad under New York law, casts doubt on plaintiffs’ good faith in imposing the covenant on ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.”)
