Draft Regulation Still Some Weeks Off
by , last updated on 29th July 2009
July 2008 - We are advised by the office of the Minister of Commerce that the draft regulations are still being worked on and will then have to go through Cabinet, so they are still some weeks off.
In an election year there can be no certainty that any current proposals will become law. The attendance of National Party leader John Key at a recent Franchise Association function did little to enlighten those present about the Opposition's views on franchise regulation, as he admitted to knowing little about the topic. However, National MP Kate Wilkinson did canvass opinions from around the room and seemed a little surprised at the level of support for regulation. A former lawyer, Ms Wilkinson claimed that when she was assisting clients buying franchises, she told them never to deal with companies which were not members of the Franchise Association.
