Case Study 3.0722

Resolving a Commercial Contract Dispute

Our client, a mid-sized Indian manufacturing company, entered into a contract with an international supplier for importing raw materials. The contract included ambiguous terms about the quality standards of the materials, payment timelines, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Issues arose when the imported materials did not meet the specified quality standards, leading to operational delays and financial losses for our client.

Outcome

Successfully negotiated an out-of-court settlement that included:

Refund of 70% of the payment made for defective materials.

Supply of replacement materials within 30 days at no additional cost.

Clearer terms for future transactions, including stricter quality control measures and penalty clauses for non-compliance.

The client was able to resume production without significant delays, safeguarding their market position and financial stability.

Breach of Distribution Agreement

A growing FMCG company partnered with a regional distributor to expand its market reach in northern India. The agreement outlined exclusive rights for the distributor to market and sell the company’s products in designated territories. However, the distributor violated the agreement by:
Selling competing products within the same region.
Failing to meet minimum sales targets, causing revenue losses for the company.
The company approached Kanoonvyavastha for legal assistance after internal negotiations with the distributor failed to resolve the issue.

Outcome


The arbitration resulted in a favorable award for the client, including:

Monetary compensation for revenue losses incurred.

Cancellation of the existing agreement without penalty.


A formal apology from the distributor to protect the company’s reputation.


The company successfully transitioned to a multi-distributor model, ensuring a more stable and scalable distribution network.

Intellectual Property Dispute in a Franchise Agreement

A prominent food and beverage company franchised its brand to a local entrepreneur, granting rights to operate under its name, use its recipes, and leverage its marketing materials. The franchise agreement explicitly prohibited the franchisee from modifying the recipes or marketing materials without prior approval.
After a routine brand audit, the franchisor discovered the franchisee was:
Altering recipes to reduce costs, compromising the brand’s quality standards.
Using unapproved local marketing materials that misrepresented the brand.
These actions harmed the brand’s reputation and led to customer complaints. The franchisor sought legal intervention through Kanoonvyavastha.

Outcome


The franchisee agreed to:

Cease all unauthorized recipe and marketing modifications immediately.


Pay a nominal penalty for breaching the agreement.


Participate in a franchisor-led training program to align with brand standards.


The franchisor retained the franchisee under stricter compliance monitoring, ensuring brand integrity while maintaining their regional foothold.
