Gardner v. Utah Oil Company, No. 84-402-RE (D. Ore. 10-12-84) Slip Opinion

Franchisee's rejection of reneal that included conversion from conventional service station to a pumper/C store provisions resulted in notice of nonrenewal under this section. Permanent injunction granted when the court determined that franchisor's decision to convert the premise constituted a determination to materially alter the franchised premises and that the more general terms of this section must yield to the more specifically applicable provisions of § 2802(b)(3)(D). Nonrenewal was improper because the franchisors did not comply with § 2802(b)(3)(D).
