Freedom to Work

[Guest]

My brother worked in a tennis centre as a tennis coach. The boss got them to sign an agreement which had a clause in it which stated that if they left they couldn't work within 20 miles of the tennis centre. Four of them signed this agreement. One of them left the partnership as they called it to start up his own tennis academy which is within the 20 miles. He asked my brother to join him my brother said yes. The boss spoke to the person who left to start up his own academy call him person A, and told him that if my brother joins him they will take legal action against him invoking the 20 mile clause. So person A has now told my brother he can't work for him as he scared of legal action being taken against him. Now my brother is out of the job.

What I really want to do is take action against these people? Any advice will be welcomed. Has my brother got a case?
