Arizona Federal Judge Dismisses 2 Counterclaims Of Hearing Aid Franchisee

(November 17, 2016, 4:56 PM EST) -- PHOENIX — An Arizona federal judge on Nov. 2 granted a plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss two counts in a 10-count counterclaim brought by a hearing aid franchisee, finding that a Florida franchise law does not apply in the case because Arizona has the most significant contacts and that a count for piercing the corporate veil against a third-party defendant is not an independent cause of action (Zounds Hearing Franchising LLC, et al. v. Tina Moser, et al., No. 2:16cv619, D. Ariz.; 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 151960)....
