		<description><![CDATA[Franchisee and Franchisor are faced with a similar legal issue:  when an employee becomes pregnant what type of work place accommodations may she demand?

The answer to this question depends largely on the individual fact pattern of each case.  It also depends as to whether the facts are being analyzed under state or federal law.  Broadly speaking, however, under federal law an employer does not owe a pregnant employee special accommodations simply because she is pregnant.   At the same time, an employer may not withhold an accommodation that normally would have been granted to a non-pregnant employee simply because the employee is now pregnant.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While it may be true that the civil court dockets have seen a increase in activity on account of the recession it remains the case that for many disputes the courts are not being utilized to the degree intended by the legislature.  Whereas the judges bemoan the "clogging" of the state court calendars the "small claims" calendars are many times underutilized by small business as far too many a small business simply writes off debt without attempting to collect through the courts]]></description>

Franchise law is not easily labeled.   It is actually a collection of many different types of law --including agency law, ant-trust law, employment law, contract law, administrative law, trademark and patent law, debtor/creditor law, tort law, trade secrets law, financial services law, and international law.  ]]></description>
