In this article, Justin highlights the most common legal “ghosts” haunting Ontario dealerships and discuss how to exorcise them before they cause real damage.
For Ontario dealers, the real hauntings aren’t in the showroom decorations, they’re buried in your inventory, paperwork and some of the zombies you may have hired. From improperly branded vehicles to unpaid liens and curbsided acquisitions, legal risks are lurking in plain sight.
