Oppressive Employment by Another Route: Franchise and Abuse of Power
分析了英国法院在Ellis v John Benson案中认定特许经营合同隐含诚信义务的判决,指出该判决对劳动法学者有价值,因为许多特许经营商与雇员高度相似。
Abstract The contract of franchise has received a surprising lack of attention in the UK courts. The decision in Ellis v John Benson [2025] EWHC 2096, where a franchisee was successful in establishing that the contract with the franchisor contained an implied obligation of good faith, is therefore of particular note. The decision is likely to be of interest to employment lawyers, not least because of the strong similarities between many franchisees and employees.
