Representing the franchisor in a multi-district federal litigation brought by over 60 dealers alleging breach of contract, bad faith pricing, and constructive termination and non-renewal of the franchise agreements. After a 14-day jury trial and an appeal to the First Circuit of the franchise issues, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in our clients’ favor on both franchise issues.
