In Moua v. Jani-King of Minnesota, Inc, 08-4942 (D. Minn. Mar. 12, 2010), a Minnesota federal court denied a motion for class certification filed by franchisees who alleged that Jani-King falsely promised them a certain amount of monthly business while knowing that the promised amount was unattainable.
