Days Inn of America, Inc. v. Patel

OPINION

RICHARD MILLS, District Judge.

Who wants to stay in a dirty motel room?

Days Inns believed that no one would and also believed that Defendant breached the franchise agreement by not keeping his facility up to snuff.

Defendant argues that he was relieved of his obligations under the franchise agreement because the road leading to his facility from the interstate was closed for a period of time by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

However, under New Jersey law, a bridge’s closure does not absolve Defendant of his duty to keep his motel rooms clean.

Motion for summary judgment allowed.
