In Minnesota, what does Minn. Stat. 80C.17, subdivision 5 prohibit regarding commencing an action against Dryject?

According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Minn. Stat. § 80C.17, subdivision 5, as it applies to Minnesota franchises, sets a limitation on when a franchisee can bring legal action against Dryject. Specifically, it prohibits commencing any action more than three years after the cause of action accrues.

In simpler terms, this means that if a Dryject franchisee in Minnesota believes they have grounds to sue Dryject, they must initiate that legal action within three years from the date the issue giving rise to the claim occurred. If the franchisee waits longer than three years, they may be barred from pursuing the claim in court.

This statute of limitations is an important consideration for prospective Dryject franchisees in Minnesota. It highlights the need to promptly address any grievances or potential legal issues that may arise during the franchise relationship. Franchisees should consult with an attorney to understand their rights and the applicable deadlines for filing a lawsuit.
