What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Pearce Bespoke Franchise Disclosure Document, if an injunction is entered against a franchisee for violating the terms of their agreement, the franchisee's sole remedy to dissolve the injunction is to request a hearing. If the court deems it warranted after the hearing, the injunction may be dissolved.
Pearce Bespoke emphasizes that franchisees waive any claims for damages resulting from the wrongful issuance of such an injunction. This means that if a franchisee believes the injunction was wrongly issued, their only recourse is to have it dissolved; they cannot sue for monetary damages incurred as a result of the injunction.
This clause highlights the importance of adhering to the terms of the franchise agreement and the potential legal ramifications of non-compliance. It also underscores the limited legal options available to a franchisee in the event of an injunction, emphasizing the need for careful consideration and legal counsel.
