The provisions of New Brunswick Franchises Act, applicable to
franchises to be operated wholly or partially within the Canadian
province of New Brunswick, will become effective on February 1,
2011. The law is similar to the franchise legislation already in
place in Alberta, Ontario and Prince Edward Island, in that it
requires the delivery of a disclosure document prior to the
execution of a franchise agreement or the payment of any
consideration. The legislation does contain some differences in
required disclosures from the laws in effect in the other Canadian
provinces, and franchisors contemplating sales in New Brunswick
should contact us to prepare specification documentation to comply
with this new law.
