The New York State DMV form AA-71, titled Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealer Request for Adjudicatory Proceeding, is a legal document used by franchised motor vehicle dealers to formally request an administrative hearing to resolve disputes with a franchisor. Under Article 17-A of the Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealer Act, filing this request can trigger automatic stay provisions that protect the dealer’s status while the claim is pending. The form requires a $2,000 non-refundable filing fee and a concise statement of facts detailing the franchisor's alleged violations and the specific remedy sought by the dealer.
To complete the application, dealers must provide identification details, including their DMV Certificate of Registration number, and submit supporting documentation such as the current franchise agreement and proof of service to the franchisor. The completed form and materials are reviewed by the DMV’s Division of Safety and Business Hearings, where an administrative law judge presides over the case. This process serves as a regulatory mechanism to adjudicate grievances regarding franchise agreements, terminations, or other business practices within the automotive industry in New York.
