The licensing agreements dated 13.5.2016 and 21.9.2017 satisfy the statutory definition of a franchise under s.4 Franchise Act 1998; Plaintiff failed to register the franchise as required by s.6; that failure amounted to illegality rendering the agreements void ab initio; consequently Defendant First is entitled to restitution of the licence fee under s.66 Contracts Act 1950; the legal questions were suitable for final determination under Order 14A/Rule 33 because material facts were not in dispute.
