What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Churchs Chicken Franchise Disclosure Document, a developer cannot consent to Cajun obtaining injunctive relief. However, Cajun may seek injunctive relief. The document also notes that a court will determine if a bond is required.
In practical terms, this means that if Churchs Chicken (referred to as Cajun in the document) seeks a court order (injunctive relief) against a developer, the developer cannot simply agree to it. The matter would proceed through the legal system, and a court would make the final determination. This protects the developer's rights and ensures a neutral party assesses the situation.
The FDD also mentions Minnesota Rule 2860.4400(J), which likely provides further context or regulations regarding injunctive relief in that state. A prospective franchisee should review this rule to fully understand their rights and obligations. The fact that a court will determine if a bond is required implies there may be financial implications for either party depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings.
