ADMINISTRATION MAY REFUSE TO GRANT A LICENSE UNDER THIS
SUBTITLE TO ANY PERSON AND MAY SUSPEND, REVOKE, OR
REFUSE TO RENEW THE LICENSE OF ANY PERSON IF IT FINDS
THAT THE PERSON HAS:
(1) FAILED TO COMPLY WITH ANY WRITTEN
WARRANTY AGREEMENT; OR
(2) FAILED TO REASONABLY COMPENSATE ANY
FRANCHISED DEALER WHO DOES WORK UNDER:
(I) THE VEHICLE PREPARATION AND DELIVERY
OBLIGATIONS OF THE DEALER; OR
(II) ANY OUTSTANDING EXPRESS OR IMPLIED NEW
VEHICLE WARRANTY.
(B) FACTORS IN DETERMINING REASONABLE COMPENSATION.
THE FOLLOWING FACTORS, AS THEY EXIST IN THE CITY OR
COMMUNITY IN WHICH THE DEALER IS DOING BUSINESS, SHALL BE
INCLUDED AMONG THOSE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING UNDER
SUBSECTION (A) (3) OF THIS SECTION WHETHER A DEALER HAS
BEEN REASONABLY COMPENSATED:
(1) THE COMPENSATION BEING PAID BY OTHER
LICENSEES TO THEIR DEALERS;
(2) THE PREVAILING WAGE RATE BEING PAID BY
THESE DEALERS; AND
(3) THE PREVAILING LABOR RATE BEING CHARGED
BY THESE DEALERS.
(C) FINE AND DAMAGES.
AS TO ANY PERSON LICENSED UNDER THIS SUBTITLE,
INSTEAD OF OR IN ADDITION TO REVOCATION, SUSPENSION, OR
NONRENEWAL OF A LICENSE UNDER THIS SECTION, THE
ADMINISTRATOR:
(1) MAY ORDER THE LICENSEE TO PAY A FINE NOT
EXCEEDING $50,000 FOR EACH VIOLATION OF THIS SUBTITLE;
AND
(2) MAY ORDER THE LICENSEE TO COMPENSATE ANY
PERSON FOR FINANCIAL INJURY OR OTHER DAMAGE SUFFERED AS A
RESULT OF THE VIOLATION.
REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b) of this
section presently appear as Art. 66 1/2,
§5-707(a).
Present §5—707(a)(1), which refers to a
violation or attempted violation of what is
now this Subtitle 2, is deleted as already
covered by the standard provisions of
§15—109(1) of this title to the same effect.
