1 A Yes.
2 Q What document shows you that ADQ is like other
3 general - other franchisor-franchisee relationships?
4 Which document that you have seen shows you that?
5 A The operations manual and the other documents,
6 frankly, that I read that just helped me understand
7 that, yes, within the range of the way franchise
8 companies operate, they operate. The relationship is
9 primarily managed with the franchise license agreement,
10 a focus on the customer, and the relationship with the
11 field people.
12 Q How many courts have allowed you to testify as
13 an expert franchise witness?
14 MR. LIGHTY: Object to the form.
15 A I couldn't answer that for you. I don't know.
16 You mean in terms of where did you testify?
17 Q Yeah, tell me one Court that allowed you to
18 testify as an expert franchise witness.
19 MR. LIGHTY: Object to the form.
20 A My answer is most of the cases never got to
21 that point where they had to ask.
22 MR. LAWDERMILK: Object as nonresponsive.
23 Q (By Mr. Lawdermilk) Has any Court ever allowed
24 you to testify as an expert franchise witness in court?
25 A I think one has.
