Question:

Chrysler, LLC, awarded a Chrysler-Jeep franchise in Billings, Montana, to Lithia Motors, Inc. Lithia exceeded the sales goals and other expectations expressed in the franchise agreement. Later, Chrysler approved an application by Rimrock Chrysler, Inc., to open an additional Chrysler-Jeep franchise less than a mile from Lithia’s location. Lithia’s agreement was silent on the issue of territorial rights, but the dealer protested Chrysler’s approval of Rimrock’s application. Could Chrysler’s actions be considered a breach of the franchisor’s deal with Lithia? Discuss. [Rimrock Chrysler, Inc. v. State of Montana Department of Justice, Motor Vehicle Division, 2018 MT 24, 390 Mont. 235, 411 P.3d 1278 (2018)] (See Franchises.)
