Terminating a franchise can pose several potential pitfalls and expose a franchisor to significant liability. A franchisor may not simply cancel, terminate, or refuse to renew a franchisee for just any reason. In most situations, there must be “good cause,” timely notice, and proper documentation to support the decision. Failure to understand and follow these rules may violate the New Jersey Franchise Practices Act, N.J.S.A. § 56:10-1 et seq. (“Act”) and expose a franchisor to liability for monetary relief and an award of attorney fees and costs to the franchisee.
