2. Great Western Reclamation, Inc. vs. Big Box Rental Co., et al. No. G010282 <br /> (Super. Ct. No. X-498326, Orange County, CA) <br /> This was an action filed in 1987 seeking damages and injunctive relief based <br /> upon defendants' violation of Contractor's rights under its exclusive <br /> franchise agreement with the City of Santa Ana. The defendants attempted <br /> to use the "self-disposal" exception to the franchise by structuring an <br /> "equipment lease agreement" with a customer of Contractor. Contractor <br /> argued that the lease agreement was a sham and that the relationship <br /> between the customer and the defendants constituted an activity which was <br /> enjoinable under the Business and Professions Code. The Court found in <br /> favor of Contractor, granting the requested injunctive relief. The Court <br /> declined, however, to award any monetary compensation to Contractor. <br /> The trial court decision was affirmed by the Court of Appeal; defendants' <br /> petition for review by the California Supreme Court was denied. <br /> 3.
