Case Notes

Applicability.

Circuit court properly concluded that a retailer had sufficiently stated a claim under the Arkansas Farm Equipment Retailer Franchise Protection Act where the retailer asserted a violation under § 4-72-304, not this section, and thus, it was not required to allege that it shipped the inventory back to the mower distributor. R.W. Distribs., Inc. v. Texarkana Tractor Co., 2018 Ark. App. 345, 553 S.W.3d 187 (2018).
