What is a franchising dispute?
A franchising dispute between a franchisor and franchisee can occur for a wide range of reasons, generally relating to the franchise agreement. Both the franchisor and franchisee need to be aware of the legal obligations contained within the franchise agreement and the penalties they face should they not comply.
Franchising agreements are generally complex legal documents. Complications and disputes can arise when one party (generally the franchisor or franchisee) believe the other party has breached the terms of the agreement.
Current legislation in Australia is covered by a Franchising Code of Conduct.
