Has the law of franchise rescission changed since raibex? An Ontario court provides a partial answer
The recent decision in 2483038 Ontario Inc. v. 2082100 Ontario Inc.,[1] confirms a narrow point of franchise law, namely that an unsigned certificate in a Franchise Disclosure Document continues to constitute a “fatal flaw”, despite the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision in Raibex Canada Ltd. v. ASWR Franchising Corp.[2] The decision also clarifies the liability of “franchisor’s associates”.
