Utah Code Title 13. Commerce and Trade § 13-14-101. Title--Legislative purpose

(i) to compel a franchisee to execute agreements that contain terms and conditions that a franchisee generally would not be agreed to absent the compulsion and duress that arise out of the inequality of bargaining power; and

(ii) in some cases to terminate a franchise without good cause, or to force a franchisee out of business by the use of unfair practices.

(i) diminishes competition and, as a result, leads to higher retail prices and fewer purchase options;

(ii) adversely affects communities that depend on a franchisee to make available motor vehicles for sale or lease and to provide warranty work and other services related to vehicles; and

(iii) undercuts expectations of consumers concerning the availability of future services including warranty work from the franchisee.
