852 LAWS OF MARYLAND Ch. 14
THE ADMINISTRATION, AFTER THE HEARING, MAKES A FINAL
DETERMINATION.
(3) A DEALER, MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR
FACTORY BRANCH MAY APPEAL THE DETERMINATION OF THE
ADMINISTRATION, AS FOLLOWS;
(I) IF HIS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN
THIS STATE IS LOCATED IN BALTIMORE CITY, TO THE BALTIMORE
CITY COURT; AND
(II) IF HIS PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS IN
THIS STATE IS LOCATED IN ANY OTHER COUNTY, TO THE CIRCUIT
COURT FOR THAT COUNTY.
(D) CONVEYANCE OF DEALERSHIP ON WRONGFUL
TERMINATION OF FRANCHISE.
(1) IN ADDITION TO ANY ADMINISTRATIVE AND
CRIMINAL SANCTIONS IMPOSED UNDER THIS SUBTITLE, A
MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH THAT
TERMINATES, CANCELS, OR FAILS TO RENEW THE FRANCHISE OF A
DEALER IN VIOLATION OF THIS SECTION SHALL PAY TO THE
DEALER THE FAIR VALUE OF HIS BUSINESS AS A GOING
CONCERN.
(2) ON PAYMENT, THE DEALER SHALL CONVEY HIS
BUSINESS, FREE OF LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES, TO THE
MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
from Art. 66 1/2, §§ 5-706(a)(4) and 5-709.
In subsection (c) of this section, the present
reference to a "verified complaint" is deleted
as obsolete and inconsistent with current
practice. Also, the reference to the right to
request a hearing under Title 12, Subtitle 2
is substituted for present references to
since—repealed hearing procedures. The venue
for appeal is conformed to the like provisions
of §12-209(b)(2) of this article.
The only other changes are in style.
See §15—305 of this title as to automatic
suspension of a dealer's license on
termination of a franchise.
See, also, revisor's note to §15—207 of this
subtitle.
15-210. DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING PROHIBITED.
A MANUFACTURER, DISTRIBUTOR, OR FACTORY BRANCH,
WHETHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH AN AGENT, EMPLOYEE, OR
REPRESENTATIVE, MAY NOT USE ANY ADVERTISEMENT THAT IS IN
ANY WAY FALSE, DECEPTIVE, OR MISLEADING.
