In Minnesota, can Crab N Spice seek injunctive relief?

According to the 2024 Crab N Spice Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchisor, Crab N Spice, is permitted to seek injunctive relief against franchisees in Minnesota. However, the document specifies that the franchisee cannot consent to Crab N Spice obtaining injunctive relief.

This means that while Crab N Spice retains the right to pursue injunctive relief through the courts, a franchisee's prior agreement to such relief is not enforceable. The court will ultimately decide whether to grant the injunction.

Furthermore, the FDD states that the court will determine if a bond is required in such cases. This implies that Crab N Spice may need to provide a financial guarantee to cover potential damages to the franchisee if the injunction is later found to be unjustified.
