Another Lawsuit for VF-Works

Editorial Staff

A lawsuit has been filed by former franchise holders James and Debra Dixon (plaintiffs) against VF-Works, Inc., Nu-Best Franchising, Inc., John Postlewaite,DC, and other VF-Works officers (defendants). The lawsuit alleges that:

  1. "Dr. Postlewaite's representations regarding FDA approval were false."

     

  2. "Defendants breached the terms and conditions of the franchise agreement."

     

  3. "Defendants in selling the subject mobile video fluoroscopic unit to plaintiffs engaged in deceptive trade practices as defined by R.C. 4165.02.

     

  4. "Defendants, in selling the Nu-Best franchise and the VF-Works mobile video fluoroscopic unit, acted fraudulently, maliciously, unlawfully and in reckless and flagrant disregard for the rights of plaintiffs.

     

  5. "The franchise agreement is an illegal and void contract and therefore is unenforceable. Plaintiffs are therefore entitled to rescission of that agreement and to be returned to their original position prior to entering into it."

The original lawsuit was filed in the Court of Common Pleas in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on August 18, 1999. It now has moved to federal court. Additional lawsuits by other franchise holders are expected.

While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
