1 A American Dairy Queen.
2 Q Who controls what the signage says?
3 A My assumption is American Dairy Queen.
4 Q On Page 24 at the bottom you are discussing a
5 reading of Mr. Brew's deposition, correct?
6 A Yes.
7 Q And it is your opinion that Mr. Brew was
8 giving correct answers when he was stating that American
9 Dairy Queen could not default the Strickland Drive
10 Dairy Queen franchise for the playground being in
11 noncompliance with the CPSC?
12 A Yes.
13 Q And you write in the second dot in
14 Paragraph XII: It is standard practice in a franchise
15 relationship for the franchisor to default a franchisee
16 with or without remedies and cures only for those
17 infractions that are listed in the "Default" section of
18 the franchise agreement signed by a particular
19 franchisee.
20 Correct?
21 A Yes.
22 Q But in reality, and in American Dairy Queen's
23 practice, they defaulted stores and franchises for many
24 things outside what is listed in the default section of
25 the franchise agreements, didn't they?
