Chapter Chapter 9 in Franchisees as Consumers, 2013, pp 155-182 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Franchisor insolvency is identified as a ‘known/unknown’ with ­potentially dire results when the Australian Risk Standard is applied. The rationale for protecting consumers, and in particular franchisees, is thus presented in Chap. 9. Consumer protection benchmarks from Australia, New Zealand and the European Union are introduced, and their utility tested in the context of franchisor failure. The EU Consumer Policy Strategy 2007–2013 is selected as the benchmark most able to address the problem of protecting franchisees from the consequences of their franchisor’s failure. A range of non-legislative and legislative solutions are explored, and some solutions are proposed.
