Vodafone terminated contracts of 12 franchisees who have continued running high street stores.

They are also part of a 120 m high court claim against the telecoms group.

The legal case was launched in December , when 62 franchisees claimed Vodfone had “unjustly enriched” itself at the expense of scores of small business owners by slashing commissions to franchisees operating the mobile phone company’s retail outlets.

A dozen of the claimants had remained in the programme even though they had joined 50 former colleagues in pursuing the legal case.
