Foreword to the Second Edition

The ABA Forum on Franchising is extremely pleased to publish Fundamentals

of Franchising®—Canada, Second Edition, a must-have resource not only for

Canadian practitioners, but for every international attorney seeking to under-

stand franchising in the Canadian provinces. This book greatly expands the

material in the first edition of this book, adding commentary and analysis for

the four new provinces enacting franchise laws since our original publication

in 2004.

I would like to thank Peter V. Snell and Larry Weinberg for taking the initia-

tive to recommend that a second edition of Fundamentals of Franchising®—

Canada be published at this time and graciously agreeing to continue to serve as

co-editors. I would also like to thank Rebekah Prince for serving as Peter and

Larry’s liaison to the Publications Committee. Of course, this book would not

have been possible but for each of our chapter authors. I would like to express

my deep gratitude to each chapter author: John Rogers and David Shaw (Chap-

ter 1—Structuring and Expansion to Canada); Pascale Cloutier and Stéphane

Teasdale (Chapter 2—Franchising in the Province of Québec); Clark Harrop and

Edward (Ned) Levitt (Chapter 3—Other Laws Affecting Franchising in Canada

(including Privacy); Bruno Floriani and Judy Rost (Chapter 4—Trademark and

Other Intellectual Property Issues); Edith Dover and Darrell Jarvis (Chapter 5—

The Canadian Franchise Agreement); Andraya Frith and Daniel Zalmanowitz

(Chapter 6—Franchise Disclosure Issues in Canada); Jeffrey Hoffman and Geoff

Shaw (Chapter 7—Dispute Resolution and Franchise Litigation in Canada); Jo-

seph Adler and Peter Viitre (Chapter 8—Acting for the Canadian Franchisee);

and Mike Melvin (Appendices).

I would also like to thank Publications Officer Jim Goniea for his continued

leadership of the Forum on Franchising’s Publications Committee. Finally, I would

like to thank the other members of the Forum’s Publications Committee and the

ABA professional staff for making this publication possible.
