Franchises could soon have the ability to trespass someone across multiple sites. 

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is beefing up the current laws, calling them no longer fit for purpose. 

He's also proposing doubling the maximum fines for trespassing on businesses, and increasing the maximum period to three years. 

Franchise New Zealand Chairman and Coffee Club Director Brad Jacobs told Ryan Bridge there's currently no way to block someone across several sites. 

He says there's a lot of repetition with multiple franchises doing the same work to get the same outcome.
