United States Seventh Circuit
Al's Serv. Ctr. v. BP Prod. N. Am., Inc., 09-3006
In plaintiff's suit under the Petroleum Marketing Practices Act, claiming that BP drove the small gas station out of business so that it could open a company station on the site, grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment and denial of plaintiff's motion to file amended complaint are affirmed as defendant did not violate the Act as it was entitled to terminate the franchise or decline to renew the franchise relationship when the condemnation occurred, as the condemnation significantly degraded the marketing premises and the evidence shows that that franchise relationship ended only when plaintiff abandoned its business.
