Hot Legal Learning
When there is a hot legal matter impacting franchising, CFA and its Legal & Legislative Affairs Committee work to bring you insight and ensure you are up to speed on breaking developments. These special webinars are available exclusively to CFA members.

Join us on Thursday, July 29 at 12 noon EDT when we explore the recent decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal to uphold certification of a class action against Quizno’s Canada Restaurant Corporation and Gordon Food Service, Inc. by franchisees who claim they have been overcharged for food and supplies. As a result of the Quizno’s decision, franchisees may find it easier to certify similar class actions and franchisors with supply arrangements similar to those in this case may be at increased risk of becoming a defendant in a class proceeding.

In making its decision, the Court added that franchise disputes are “exactly the kind of case for a class proceeding.” What might this mean for you and your franchise system?

Join counsel for Quizno’s, Geoff Shaw of Cassels Brock LLP, counsel for the Quizno’s franchisees, Allan Dick of Sotos LLP, and moderator Jennifer Dolman of Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP as they provide their thoughts and discuss the implications of the Quizno’s decision for the franchise industry.
