Litigation Summary
JPAR Franchising, LLC has been involved in four litigation cases. In 2021, the Indiana Securities Commissioner issued an administrative order against JPAR Franchising, LLC, after it self-reported selling a franchise when its Indiana registration had expired. This resulted in a $1,500 civil penalty and an order to comply with registration laws. More recently, JPAR Franchising, LLC's affiliate, JP Piccinini Real Estate Services, LLC, was named as a co-defendant in three class-action complaints filed in December 2023, November 2023, and January 2025. These lawsuits allege antitrust law violations and deceptive trade practices, claiming a conspiracy among defendants to inflate commissions by mandating offers of compensation to buyer agents and engaging in broad anti-competitive practices. The plaintiffs are seeking declarations that these actions are unlawful, permanent injunctions, and damages. As of the FDD's issuance date, a settlement agreement has been executed for all three cases, but it is pending final court approval in June 2025, with an opt-out and objection period scheduled for May 2025.
