Franchis\u00e9 : \u00ab to be or not to be\u2026 \u00bb<\/h2>\n
Une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 (le franchis\u00e9) signe, en vue de l\u2019exploitation de son activit\u00e9 commerciale, un contrat de franchise avec un distributeur (le franchiseur).<\/p>\n
4 jours apr\u00e8s la r\u00e9siliation de ce contrat de franchise, le g\u00e9rant de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 franchis\u00e9e, qui en est aussi l\u2019associ\u00e9 majoritaire, d\u00e9cide de c\u00e9der l\u2019int\u00e9gralit\u00e9 de ses parts sociales \u00e0 un concurrent du franchiseur.<\/p>\n
Ce que conteste celui-ci : il rappelle que le contrat de franchise comporte un \u00ab pacte de pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence \u00bb dont il est b\u00e9n\u00e9ficiaire.<\/p>\n
Pour m\u00e9moire, un pacte de pr\u00e9f\u00e9rence est un contrat par lequel le propri\u00e9taire d\u2019un bien s\u2019engage \u00e0 le c\u00e9der en priorit\u00e9 \u00e0 un acheteur en particulier.<\/p>\n
Dans cette affaire, le franchiseur soutient que le contrat de franchise imposait au franchis\u00e9 de l\u2019informer de toute intention de vendre ses parts sociales, afin qu\u2019il puisse, s\u2019il le souhaite, les acqu\u00e9rir en priorit\u00e9.<\/p>\n
En omettant de l\u2019informer de la situation, le g\u00e9rant a manqu\u00e9 \u00e0 ses obligations : il doit donc lui verser une indemnisation\u2026<\/p>\n
\u00ab Non \u00bb, r\u00e9torque l\u2019int\u00e9ress\u00e9, qui rappelle que cette obligation d\u2019information pr\u00e9alable ne s\u2019imposait qu\u2019au seul \u00ab franchis\u00e9 \u00bb\u2026 c\u2019est-\u00e0-dire \u00e0 la soci\u00e9t\u00e9-elle-m\u00eame. Ce qui, en tant que \u00ab simple associ\u00e9 \u00bb le met, \u00e0 titre personnel, hors de cause.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Faux \u00bb, r\u00e9torque le juge : le contrat de franchise pr\u00e9cise bien que le terme de \u00ab franchis\u00e9 \u00bb vise indiff\u00e9remment ici la soci\u00e9t\u00e9, mais \u00e9galement le g\u00e9rant associ\u00e9, dont la situation de dirigeant effectif et d\u2019associ\u00e9 majoritaire \u00e9tait essentielle aux yeux du franchiseur.<\/p>\n
Le g\u00e9rant doit donc, au m\u00eame titre que la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 avec laquelle il est indissociablement li\u00e9 dans le cadre de l\u2019ex\u00e9cution du contrat de franchise, indemniser le franchiseur\u2026<\/p>\n
