The case would have been in favor of Alex if the court discovered that Alex had signed the covenant not to compete in an adhesion contract; that is upon been hired, Alex was forced to either sign the contract or be immediately fired from the company. This is an example of contract under duress and it makes the contract invalid. Parties involved in a contract must sign the contract willingly for the contract to be valid.
