Description
All consumer goods and services and most B2B services can be distributed through franchise systems in Australia. Quasi-professional and government services are increasingly franchised, with varying degrees of success.
The course examines:
• the nature and operation of franchising as a business model;
• the ways the model is evolving;
• the legal implications of the franchisor/ franchisee contract based relationship;
• a range of legal issues in the context of franchising (eg: intellectual property, retail leases, insolvency);
• the regulation of franchising under the Franchising Code of Conduct prescribed under the Competition and Consumer Act (Cth) 2010;
• state level regulation;
• the commercial realities of the franchise relationship;
• the development of franchise systems.
