Michael demanda a Marcel Avram
Michael Jackson sues concert promoter involved in 1999 dispute
Tuesday, October 04, 2005
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Michael Jackson filed a lawsuit against a concert promoter to prevent arbitration over a disputed 1999 concert contract.
Jackson and his firm, MJ Company, sued concert promoter Marcel Avram and his German-based company for breach of contract, according to court papers. The lawsuit filed Monday also seeks a preliminary injunction to prevent Avram from proceeding with arbitration. Jackson in November 2002 testified in a $21 million US lawsuit brought against him by Avram, who accused the entertainer of backing out of two concerts on New Year's Eve 1999.
A Santa Barbara County jury in March 2003 ruled that Jackson must pay Avram $5.3 million US.
Both parties reached a settlement agreement in 2003 that resolved existing and future claims related to the concerts, court papers said. Disputes regarding the settlement were to be resolved in Superior Court as a part of the settlement agreement, but Avram has moved forward with arbitration, according to the lawsuit.
An arbitration hearing has been scheduled for Oct. 24.
Jackson is seeking an injunction to prevent any alternative forms of dispute resolution.
Jackson attorney Michael Bruce Abelson did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment Monday night after business hours.
