Legal Aid used to fund Franchise Lawsuits

Les Stewart, writing at Franchise Fool, has an interesting observation about Legal Aid and Franchise lawsuits:
"This is a first: I have never seen a publicly funded legal aid program used to fund a franchise legal action.
Not that surprising that the New Zealand government doesn't want to touch the Blue Chip mess with a 10 foot pole. It'd raise too many questions about lax commercial regulation, I'd imagine.
- Something about creating a very friendly feeding ground for massive consumer fraud, targeting Kiwi senior citizens.
- International financial market laughingstock? Or some other alarmist conclusions."
