Legal Question in Business Law in Virginia

A company gets kick out of a expo for being a landscape co.
Hello,
A little background: My step-father owns a landscaping Co. and applied to an expo in virginia beach, VA. He was accepted and allowed to set up his landscaping stuff to show off. It turns out that the day before the expo starts he is told to remove his stuff and leave, because the owner has a landscaping Co, too and don't want any others there. I was wondering if this is a legal practice, because he spent a lot of money and time, a whole week setting it up.

Re: A company gets kick out of a expo for being a landscape co.

If this is a privately-owned expo, not government, Virginia law would generally let them do whatever they want.

However, you did not explain what agreement

there was. If there was any kind of agreement,

written or verbal, to allow your father to

exhibit his products, then the agreement would

have to be honored. Did he pay any fee to the

expo, for example?

The expo company certainly cannot breach its

contract. Howeve, we would need to know more

about what agreement was entered into.
