Disclosure documents uk?

Question

I have bought into a courier franchise that started in Australia. I am in England. They have used the same disclosure document that they use in australia which requires details of current court details to which they stated that they have none. I have since found out that they have two current court cases against them . I have said this is a breach of contract. Fastway couriers the Franchisor say legally in England they are not req. to disclose this information and therefore even a court would not award me my money back. my ? is can they use a Australian Document at the time of signing the deed and now refer to English -law now that this has become transparent so that they do not have to give me a refund of franchise fees of £13.000

Answer 1

Your Q 'Fiona' is so coincidentally similar in subject matter to one posted in this same section by 'mcleod147' I'm bound to ask the Q .. are you someone caught out using their two accounts on Q & A's ?

This is the x referenced Q I refer to , now I could be wrong but ???? !!!!

'What is the law on disclosure documents in the UK? ?

A franchise called Fastway Courier has 2 current court cases against it and this has not been mentioned in the disclosure document, should they have done so since it is being used as part of a contract?

Thankyou for your answers.'

Edit: Congratulations on learning so fast as I see the earlier Q has been very promptly deleted. I'm still confused about the actual Q

Anyway to try and answer it, for starters it no doubt depends what information, if anything you asked of them, and somewhere in the documents, esp those with different legal systems it will usually state what system of law will be applied / resorted to in the event of court action. Are you saying you invested £13.000 ( 13 grand ! ) with some overseas business connection without taking proper face to face legal advice - if so its time to see one now as realistically Yahoo Q & A is not going to solve this one for you .. and I thought it was Nigeria where most of the scams & dubious investments originated from.
