Opinion
COLE, J.
Courtesy Motors, Inc., (Courtesy) appeals from a decision by the Commissioner of the Division of Motor Vehicles allowing Ford Motor Company (Ford) to grant a franchise for a Ford dealership in Lexington, Virginia. Courtesy contends the decision should be reversed because: (1) the commissioner failed to apply the evidentiary standard required by Code § 46.1-547(d); (2) the commissioner’s decision was arbitrary and inconsistent with a prior decision; and (3) the commissioner’s decision was not based upon substantial evidence. We disagree and affirm the decision.
