Harms v. Chevron U.S.A., Inc., No. 96-6705-CIV-ZLOCH (S.D. Fla 3-11-97) Slip Opinion; (S.D. Fla. 5-15-97) Slip Opinion; aff'd, No. 97-5087 (11th Cir. 2-23-98)

Affirmed franchisor's MTD and denied preliminary injunction to franchisee. That franchisor continued franchise relationship on a month to month basis after the original lease expired is all the PMPA requires. Franchisee had joined a class action against franchiser claiming among other things that the terms of written franchise were fraudulent.. Franchisor then chose to renew existing franchise rather than execute new franchise.
