Franchising is a broad and important business model across
Canada that has grown significantly over the past two decades.
Answering to many concerns from the industry and individuals about
a lack of regulation in the franchise arena, provinces across
Canada began to develop detailed statutory schemes beginning in the
mid-1990s.
Today, franchise legislation is in force across six provinces in
Canada. Statutory regulation has fundamentally shifted both the
legal and transactional aspects of the industry.
What is the book about?
Franchise Law in Canada undertakes a thorough review of
the law developed to date, and looks forward to how this
interesting area of law will continue to grow in the future.
National in scope, the book canvasses the legislative regimes and
developed case law across the common-law provinces, as well as
influential cases coming from Quebec.
