- Franchise law: Ontario's Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000 requires a franchisor to give a prospective franchisee a disclosure document at least 14 days before the prospective franchisee signs the franchise agreement (or any other agreement relating to the franchise) or pays anything for the franchise, whichever comes first. It is a disclosure law, not a registration law. (Source: Arthur Wishart Act (Franchise Disclosure), 2000, SO 2000, c 3 (Ontario e-Laws))
