TITLE Supreme Court Decision 2015Du59686 Decided November 9, 2018 【Revocation of Corrective Order, etc.】 [full Text]
Summary
[1] Method of determining whether a franchiser’s act of directly undergoing interior works and directly purchasing facilities, equipment, and appliances or having a designated party perform and purchase the same constitutes “unlawful act of coercing a franchisee to engage in transaction with a specific counterparty”

Whether creating an objective situation in which a counterparty has no option but to make a purchase may be deemed as falling under an act of “coercing” transaction with a specific counterparty (affirmative)

In the event that a franchiser informs a franchisee via a disclosure document of the circumstance on having to transact with a specific counterparty prior to the conclusion of a franchise agreement or enters into a franchise agreement based on a consensus of the same in advance, whether such acts may be readily concluded as not constituting “unlawful act of coercing a franchisee to transact with a specific counterparty” (negative)

[2] Requirements to constitute “disadvantage” when referring to the act of putting a franchisee at an undue disadvantage, and, in such case, criteria for determining whether an act constitutes the same by unfairly using a transactional position
