He tells that to colleagues, em- ployees and friends. He says it in high-powered board meetings and while making small talk with strangers. It’s true, but House is also CEO of Tim Hortons, Canada’s largest food service chain and arguably, the country’s most iconic company, whose double double, Timbits and Roll Up the Rim are fixtures in the lexicon. No matter that the chain brought in $2.9 billion in revenue in 2011, employs more than 100,000 people in more than 4,000 restaurants, commands 62 per cent of the coffee market in Canada and that House is widely credited with guiding the company’s rapid expansion over JOHN RENNISON, THE HAMILTON SPECTATOR the last two decades.

  • 1 Canada's Tim Hortons Case
    Canada’s Tim Hortons Case: Lessons Learned About Franchisors’ Rights, Class Action Certification and Rules of Expert Testimony Edward (Ned) Levitt and Bruce S. Schaeffer* On February 24, 2012, Mr. Justice G.R. Strathy of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued a 163 page judgment in a motion by Fairview Donut Inc. and Brule Foods Ltd. to certify a class action under the Ontario Class Proceedings Act, 1992 against The TDL Group Corp. and Tim Hortons Inc (“Fairview”).1 Please note that the plaintiffs filed an appeal of this decision on March 23rd, 2012.2 The case is very important because it: 1) re-enforces the rights of franchisors with respect to governing their own systems; 2) addresses the limitations of using class action litigation in fact-specific franchise disputes; 3) shows how not to pick a target franchisor for litigation alleging mismanagement and misrepresentation; and 4) explains the law with respect to expert testimony in Ontario (in the franchise context). To say that the franchisor, Tim Hortons, won a decisive victory would be an understatement. However this case, if it is sustained on appeal, will have repercussions for franchising for years to come. It establishes a number of bench marks for franchisors, slows the momentum of the class action strategy by franchisees against their franchisors, and clarifies the rules on summary judgment motions in franchise cases. It is predicted that this seminal case will be extensively studied, cited and argued about in many of the franchise cases that will come after it, as it stands for much more than defeating an attempt of the Tim Hortons franchisees to bring a class action against their franchisor.
