LICENSEE TO CONDUCT THE BUSINESS OF A MANUFACTURER,
DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH, AS THE CASE MAY BE,
DURING THE LICENSE YEAR FOR WHICH IT IS ISSUED.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from Art. 66 1/2,
§5-705.
The first clause of present §5-705 (a), which
governs the issuance of a license, and the
provisions of present §5—705 (b) and (c), which
govern supplemental and duplicate licenses,
are deleted as already covered by the standard
provisions of §§ 15-104, 15-105, and 15-107 of
this title.
The only other changes are in style.
15-207. COERCION OF DEALER PROHIBITED.
(A) "COERCE" DEFINED.
IN THIS SECTION:
(1) "COERCE" MEANS TO COMPEL OR ATTEMPT TO
COMPEL BY THREAT OF HARM, BREACH OF CONTRACT, OR OTHER
ADVERSE CONSEQUENCES; AND
(2) "COERCE" DOES NOT MEAN TO ARGUE, URGE,
RECOMMEND, OR PERSUADE.
(B) IN GENERAL.
A MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH,
WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH AN AGENT, EMPLOYEE, OR
REPRESENTATIVE, MAY NOT:
(1) COERCE ANY DEALER TO MAKE ANY AGREEMENT
WITH THE MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH; OR
(2) COERCE ANY DEALER TO ORDER OR ACCEPT
DELIVERY OF ANY VEHICLE, ANY EQUIPMENT, PARTS, OR
ACCESSORIES FOR A VEHICLE, OR ANY OTHER COMMODITY THAT IS
NOT REQUIRED BY LAW OR BY THE DEALER'S FRANCHISE OR THAT
MAS NOT ORDERED VOLUNTARILY BY THE DEALER.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsection (a) of this section is
new language derived without substantive
change from Art. 66 1/2, §1-108.1. It is
placed here since this is the only section in
the Maryland Vehicle Law in which the term is
used in the sense defined.
