To Disclose or Not to Disclose?

Rupert Barkoff & Andrew Head

While <I>Hanley v. Doctors Express Franchising, LLC</i> does not demonstrate any significant movement in the law governing FPRs one way or the other, it does demonstrate that FPR claims will not necessarily be readily dismissed, and that the absence of relevant information can be even more important in the context of financial disclosures than the actual accuracy of what is reported.
