Senior Judge William Martini, of the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey.
“At this juncture the Court, even assuming the covenants and tolling provisions are enforceable, need only look to the contractual language and timeline of alleged violations to find that ADP’s enforceable interest has expired,” wrote U.S. District Judge William J. Martini in the opinion.
