- W141409912 abstract "Contemporary critics assail the civil jury as biased, sympathy-prone and hos? tile to corporate defendants.2 Many businesspeople (and their lawyers) believe, sometimes from painful personal experience, that whatever the facts and the law, juries reflexively favor the little guy and enjoy redistributing the wealth corporate defendants. Media aCCOUntS Of big Verdicts, Edward Wood Dunham from the McDonald's coffee case to the staggering punitive damage awards against tobacco companies, reinforce the common perception of Modern American culture as pro-plaintiff,3 especially when the plaintiff is an individual at odds with a large business. If the reality matches that perception, franchisors should be especially concerned. Some might question this asser? tion, since franchisees and franchisors alike are business people,4 and every franchising lawsuit is by definition a business dispute.5 Often, however, franchise litigation does not feel that way. Every lawsuit has its own emotional architecture, and frequently the design a franchise case is similar to that an employment, consumer, or personal injury action, with a sympathetic hometown victim alleging misconduct by a faraway corporate cutthroat. But are jurors actually hostile to business, or is this a self-serving myth perpetuated by special interests as an excuse to limit causes action and remedies and thereby safeguard the predations Corporate America? Perhaps not surprisingly, the available evidence?actual verdicts, mock jury results, polling data?is sometimes sufficiently equivocal to validate both sides the argument. Based upon that evidence, however, three conclusions relevant to franchise litigation are difficult to escape: (1) Juries regard the profit motive, and its effect on human behavior, with suspicion. (2) Juries hold corporations to higher standards than they apply to individual litigants. (3) Plaintiffs win a strikingly high percentage jury" @default.
