LA CLAUSE DE NON-SOLLICITATION EST MORTE, LONGUE VIE A LA CLAUSE DE NON-SOLLICITATION?
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Within the sphere of restrictive clauses in Quebec employment law, the non-solicitation clause has always taken a back seat to its older cousin, the non-competition clause. Yet, it remains an important tool at the disposal of the employer who wishes to legitimately protect its goodwill and clientele, without prohibiting his ex-employees from earning a living in their chosen field of work. However, certain recent decisions have adopted a very restrictive definition of what constitutes solicitation and, in so doing, have jeopardized the effectiveness of nonsolicitation clauses. In the present text, we shall analyze and critique this new line of case law.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
