In Minnesota, who determines if a bond is required for injunctive relief sought by All Team?

According to All Team's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, in Minnesota, a court will determine if a bond is required when All Team seeks injunctive relief. This is specified under MINNESOTA RULES 2860.4400(J).

For a prospective franchisee, this means that if All Team seeks a court order (injunctive relief) against them in Minnesota, the court will decide whether All Team needs to post a bond. A bond serves as a form of security or collateral, which can protect the franchisee in case the injunction is later found to be wrongfully issued. If the injunction causes financial harm to the franchisee and the court determines it was not justified, the franchisee may be able to recover losses from the bond.

This provision is beneficial for franchisees as it ensures an impartial assessment of the need for a bond, providing a layer of financial protection against potentially unwarranted injunctive actions by All Team. Franchise agreements often contain clauses that favor the franchisor, so this Minnesota-specific rule offers a degree of fairness and security to the franchisee.
