The situation

If the franchise agreement is concluded in consideration of the person of the franchisor, however, the transfer of all the shares or stock of the franchisor company and changes in its directors, which do not entail any change in the legal entity in consideration of which the franchisee entered into the agreement and do not entail any assignment of the franchise agreement, do not require, unless otherwise agreed, the prior consent of the franchisees.

This decision confirms the fundamental principles of property law.

Points to remember

• Strictly comply with the statutory time limits for appeals
• Keep all your supporting documents (title deeds, deeds, correspondence)
