The American franchise lawyers' nightmare

Article Abstract:

Franchising in the US is more complicated than it is overseas due to the range of laws which apply to franchisors and franchisees as well as the numerous causes for litigation. Federal and state laws that apply to franchises and the endless list of contract breaches that can lead to litigation make it possible for American lawyers to practice franchise law exclusively. In England, there are fewer contractual laws; franchise cases rarely result in litigation; and life is easier for the franchisor, franchisee and their lawyers.

New directions in Canadian franchise legislation

Article Abstract:

Canadian provinces, including Alberta, Ontario, and Manitoba, have had increased activity in the area of franchise legislation. Alberta, the only province with a franchise law, replaced its Franchise Act in 1995 with a law outlining civil remedies for breaches, disclosure requirements, and promoting franchise self-governance. In Ontario, the government is studying the 1995 Franchise Sector Working Team report's recommendations on disclosure and self-governance.
