Franchise law is a broad and important practice area that has grown significantly over the past two decades. What used to be relatively parochial or reserved for dealing with large corporations is now mainstream and is a much more common type of commercial relationship. Franchised business are one of the largest industries in Canada, and represents a substantial sector of the economy. How the law governs these relationship is therefore an important consideration for franshiors and franchisees alike. However, reference materials on franchise law are limited – very few books on the topic focus on Canada, or, more specifically focus on the law emanating from the application and consideration of the statutory regimes now in force across Canada. Franchise Law in Canada fills the need for a comprehensive and accessible resource that is academically and doctrinally minded.

Now updated in its second edition, Franchise Law in Canada is a thorough, portable, hardbound treatise that discusses the developed and developing principles of franchise law, considers the legal principles created by the statutory schemes, and explains how franchise law interacts and intersects with the common law. National in scope, this book is an excellent and accessible overview of this evolving practice area and considers the range of possible approaches and interpretations. Franchise Law in Canada has been cited by Courts across the country, and continues to be a leading resource for both novice and seasoned franchise law practitioners.
