A franchisee suffering damage as a result of the failure to give notice as required of the cancellation or termination of a franchise, may institute legal proceedings under the provisions of Sections 75-24-51 through 75-24-61 against the franchisor who canceled or terminated his franchise in the county in which the franchisor or his agent resides or can be located or where the franchisee resides. When the franchisee prevails in any such action he may be awarded a recovery of damages sustained to include loss of goodwill, costs of the suit, and any equitable relief that the court deems proper.
