  • Amos v. Shell Oil Co., 617 N.E.2d 353, 187 Ill. Dec. 145 (Ill. App. 5-27-93)

    Franchisor may terminate franchise upon one-day notice. Reasonableness of less than 90 days' notice is to be determined on a case by case basis. Franchisee wrote 15 NSF checks and altered 8 of them to appear certified. 90 day notice not reasonable. PMPA preempts Illinois FED Act. When franchisor's manager told franchisee his relationship was terminated, two police officers arrested franchisee for the bad checks. The next day, franchisor used armed security guard to close and repossess station. When termination is for one of the enumerated events, there is no right to cure.
