§ 4095. Burden of proof
In determining whether good cause for the refusal to honor the succession exists,
the manufacturer, distributor, factory branch, or importer has the burden of proving
that the successor is a person who is not of good moral character or does not meet
the franchisor’s existing and reasonable standards and, considering the volume of
sales and service of the new motor vehicle dealer, uniformly applied minimum business
experience standards in the market area. (Added 1981, No. 157 (Adj. Sess.), § 1, eff. April 14, 1982.)
