Burger King Corporation v. Hinton, Inc.: are lost future profits disappearing?

Article Abstract:

In the case of Burger King Corp. v. Hinton, Inc., the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida decided that a franchisor could not recover lost future profits damages from a francisee. Burger King Corporation had terminated a franchise agreement because of the franchisee's failure to pay franchise fees. Because Burger King initiated the termination, its claim for lost profit damages failed.
