On April 11, 2011, All Frames, after having read the pre-contractual information document provided by its franchisor, Multivision Franchise, entered into a franchise agreement with the latter for the operation of an optical store located in Tours. The franchised company was placed in receivership on December 1, 2015, and All Frames, through the intermediary of the appointed receiver, sued the franchisor on two grounds (fraud and lack of cause) to have the franchise agreement declared null and void and to obtain compensation for the damages suffered. On March 6, 2019, the Paris Commercial Court dismissed the case and appealed to the Paris Court of Appeal.
