Adlakha v. Meehan
Adlakha v. Meehan, 2011 ONSC 444
Ontario Superior Court of Justice
January 21, 2011
Ben V. Hanuka was successful in an Application to have two franchise-related disputes submitted to an arbitration under the Arbitration Act. This decision is important because the Application Judge held that various affiliated companies held or controlled by the primary franchisor, Lick’s Franchising Inc., were “parties” to the subject Franchise Agreements and were thus required to submit to arbitration, as were the individual Respondents who were held to “Franchisors Associates” pursuant to the Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000.
