I know technically he he wasn't sacked etc, but I wonder if contract clauses like this are still in effect if a contract is terminated

It wasn't terminated was it? It just wasn't renewed AFAIK.

....

IIRC he sold his share of the rights to the BBC and there was probably a non compete clause in the sale agreement. This is not the same as employment restrictions/restraint of trade.

He sold his rights for moolah voluntarily so I am guessing it is quite correct and not restraint.

money talks

I guess it depends if he can afford being sued by the BBC.

Also Considering the BBC is cash strapped, they may welcome a financial agreement.

I was a fan of Top Gear and even signed the petition to get Clarkson back.

Personally I hope they go to Netflix, (No adverts).
