How many interrogatories is each party limited to in arbitration involving All Team?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in the event of arbitration, each party is limited to 15 interrogatories. This means that during the arbitration process, each side can only submit a maximum of 15 written questions to the opposing party, which must be answered under oath. This limit helps to streamline the discovery process and prevent either party from overwhelming the other with excessive requests for information.

In addition to the interrogatory limit, each party is also limited to 25 document requests and 1 deposition, unless both parties agree to a different arrangement. These restrictions on discovery are intended to keep arbitration efficient and cost-effective. Arbitration will be conducted in Tampa, FL, unless both parties agree to a different location.

It is important to note that the arbitration proceeding will be conducted in accordance with the American Arbitration Association (AAA) rules, except where those rules conflict with the terms of the franchise agreement. The arbitrator must be mutually selected by the parties and have at least 5 years of experience in franchise law. This ensures that the arbitrator is qualified to handle the specific legal issues that may arise in a franchise dispute.
