Puffery pastry


Retail Food Group breached consumer law in $400,000-plus franchise bungle, Court finds Important case in relation to the obligations of franchisors to franchisees, particularly the representations about likely future financial performance. Still scratching my head at RFG's claim that its pre-contractual representations, including those about likely future financial performance, were mere puffery. It's almost likely saying no reasonable person could believe anything which RFG says about the likely performance of its stores, particularly Michel's Patisserie stores!
