Garden Leave and new job

Generali

If you just start the new job then for there to be any impact on you 2 conditions need to be fulfilled:

1. Old company need to find out about it
2. Old company need to sue

That's AIUI and IANAL.

From the sounds of things, old co aren't that happy anyway so as long as there isn't any chance of clients being poached or any actual loss to old co then I wouldn't worry too much.

It's not the old company that is the problem it's the new one if you keep from them that you were still under contract and it is against their policies without permission.

Or if the old company change their minds and call the OP in(perhaps the problem is on holiday/sick)
