NEW AUDI DEALERSHIP WAS OUTSIDE PLAINTIFF DEALERSHIP’S MARKET AREA, SUIT UNDER THE DEALER ACT PROPERLY DISMISSED.

The Second Department determined plaintiff Audi dealership’s suit claiming that the award of a new Audi dealership constituted a modification of the franchise in violation of the Dealer Act (Vehicle and Traffic Law 463 (2)) was properly dismissed. Plaintiff acknowledged that the new dealership was outside plaintiff’s market area:

​

Here, the plaintiff does not dispute that the location of the proposed new Westbury dealership is outside the plaintiff’s “relevant market area,” and thus, the plaintiff cannot challenge the addition of that dealership under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 463(2)(cc). As a result, the plaintiff seeks to challenge the proposed addition of the new dealership under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 463(2)(ff), which provides that a franchisor must give notice to the dealer of any “modification” to the dealer’s franchise … . However, permitting the plaintiff to challenge the addition of the Westbury dealership under Vehicle and Traffic Law § 463(2)(ff) would essentially render the standing requirement and specific procedures set forth in Vehicle and Traffic Law § 463(2)(cc) superfluous … . As such, the Supreme Court properly determined that Vehicle and Traffic Law § 463(2)(cc) is the sole mechanism under the Dealer Act by which the plaintiff can challenge Audi’s addition of the proposed new Westbury dealership, and properly directed the dismissal of the first cause of action.  JJM Sunrise Automotive, LLC v Volkswagen Group of Am., Inc., 2017 NY Slip Op 03160, 2nd Dept 4-26-17
