FL Judge issues brisket injunction


 
I don't think that the Judge had a choice. It's plain English - "Brisket". If the judge made allowances there, someone would just change the seasoning (think removing a pinch of Cayenne) and claim it was not the same thing.

I was a major case claims rep for thirty years and reading contracts was what I did (along with my share of court time) and this seems pretty clear to me. However, if you have deep pockets (or, if you don't), it can be quite surprising what can happen in court...

Well, if the Shorty's down there is anything like the Shorty's we HAD up here, then they won't last long anyway. It was horrible at best. Very odd because I remember the Shorty's in south Miami (Kendall??/Coconut Grove??) being very good. Maybe it's not the same Shorty's??

Not too surprising something like this happening down in Palm Beach. That has got to be the goofiest place in all of Florida. I'd wager that judge just shakes her head every other day in that area.

Shopping centers typically offer this kind of "exclusivity" to tenants (the only furniture store, Mexican restaurant, etc.). I think I remember a case where a Subway successfully argued that they were a "health food store" to beat an exclusivity clause held by another sandwich shop. Maybe Shorty's shoulda argued that they were a "meat incinerator" and not a BBQ joint.
