RCWL Albers"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>It happens quite often that, especially by franchisees, too<br \/>\n  lightly thought about the validity of a post-contractual<br \/>\n  non-competition clause. It is thought that franchisors are not here<br \/>\n  without further ado, certainly not when the franchisee<br \/>\n  terminated the franchise agreement. Recently, however, it is again<br \/>\n  confirmed that the mere dissolution of the agreement has no consequences<br \/>\n  for the validity of a non-competition clause. The judge makes one<br \/>\n  interesting comparison with employees and commercial agents.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n  In a recent case, the court in Maastricht considered the<br \/>\n  validity of a post-contractual non-compete clause in a<br \/>\n  distribution agreement. The dealer in question had his agreement<br \/>\n  dissolved and stated that, among other things, the non-competition clause was no longer applicable<br \/>\n  would be valid. The judge ruled otherwise.<br \/>\n    \n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The court has expressly considered that a distributor has no appeal<br \/>\n  can do on compliance with a post-contractual non-compete clause<br \/>\n  if the distributor can be <i>seriously<\/i> blamed<br \/>\n  regarding the termination. The court specifically refers to the<br \/>\n  legal protections that commercial agents or employees have in this regard<br \/>\n  and states that this legislation can be applied by analogy to<br \/>\n  the distribution agreement not regulated by law. Next came the<br \/>\n  court in this matter concluded that the distributor is not serious<br \/>\n  could be blamed for the termination. The single<br \/>\n  dissolution, which incidentally did not last in this case, is therefore, according to the<br \/>\n  court insufficient to enforce the post-contractual non-competition clause<br \/>\n  to be invalid, for that the heavier standard of the<br \/>\n  serious accusation.<br \/>\n    \n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In my view, this consideration also applies to franchise agreements<br \/>\n  and thus becomes the permanent line in case law in the field of<br \/>\n  non-competition clauses in franchise agreements confirmed and clarified.<br \/>\n  The validity test with regard to non-competition clauses in<br \/>\n  franchise agreements in most cases comes down to one<br \/>\n  court&#8217;s consideration of interests. In this consideration, whether the<br \/>\n  franchisor can be blamed for the franchise agreement<br \/>\n  finished. The judge in Maastricht makes that clear once again<br \/>\n  (just as with employers or principals in agency relationships).<br \/>\n  must be due to serious misconduct on the part of the franchisor.<br \/>\n  The threshold for this is therefore high.<br \/>\n    \n<\/p>\n<p>\n  This emphatic analogy with employment contracts and<br \/>\n  agency agreements is new, but the underlying benchmark<br \/>\n  endorses a consistent line in case law for years<br \/>\n  non-competition clauses. Finally, I note that the culpability<br \/>\n  with regard to the termination, this concerns only one of the many grounds<br \/>\n  can be laid on the basis of setting aside a<br \/>\n  non-competition clause. The jurisprudence is very casuistic and it is therefore<br \/>\n  It is advisable to get good advice about the chances of success.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/franchiseplus.nl\/column\/franchisenemers-genieten-wat-betreft-concurrentiebeding-dezelfde-bescherming-als-werknemers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here for the published article.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n  mr.
