Question: When can a Franchise territory be changed by a Franchisor?

Answer:

Normally a Franchisor will be able to change a Franchise territory if a Franchisee requests the change or if the Franchisor reasonably thinks the existing Franchisee is unable to service the Franchise territory. The exact method to be followed in facilitating this change will be set out in the Franchise Agreement, and will be disclosed in the Disclosure Document at item 17.
