California Judge Rules State Farm Agencies Are Not
Franchises
On
April 14, 2008, the Superior Court of California, San
Joaquin County issued its ruling on the pending Motions
for Summary Judgment in the Vice v. State Farm
lawsuit. The decision was not favorable to NASFA.
NASFA
has resolved to communicate more efficiently this year.
That means using more e-mail, so we're updating our
database with as many members' e-mail addresses as
possible. Please provide a personal e-mail
