$300m lawsuit against MJ dismissed
August 20th, 2010 - 2:30 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Aug 20 (ANI): A judge has dismissed a 300-million-dollar lawsuit that had been filed against the late King of Pop Michael Jackson.
The federal judge in New York just dismissed a lawsuit filed by AllGood Entertainment, claiming the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker had agreed through an agent to perform several Jackson family reunion concerts in Indiana before going on the road with any other show.
AllGood claimed that by agreeing to do the London concerts, Jackson breached his agreement with them.
The federal judge ruled today that Jackson’s agent-Frank Dileo- merely struck the deal with AllGood in principle, that couldn’t become binding without the sign-offs of MJ and his brothers.
The judge also said the deal was just too sketchy to be enforceable.
The case had been partially dismissed last month and now it has been closed forever.
“This case never had any merit and the claim was frivolous from day one,” TMZ quoted Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Michael Jackson Estate, as saying. (ANI)
