Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
Michael rarely ever attends civil cases in person, not even when their in the same city as he is (i.e., the memorabilia dispute in Vegas) let alone when they're in another country. Remember how during the Schaffel case, Schaffel's lawyer tried to issue a subpoena ordering Michael to attend the court and Mike's lawyer ripped it up because it had no legal basis and wasn't a requirement. Michael doesn't have to attend these civil matters if he doesn't want to. Obviously it looks better normally when the defendant shows up, but it still isn't a necessity if depositions and the likes can be arranged in other ways.

i wonder what the rule is if mj refuses to appear. if its like in the usa where u cant be forced cause its a civil casethe court heard the singer was waiting on test results about an unspecified condition and that "even in a best-case scenario it would be unwise to travel".
However, lawyers for Sheikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa said he could be "bandaged up" and appear in person.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
Bingo. I think that is the root of this nonsense.
I see. Well, if the judge wants him there then he wants the spotlight in his courtroom. We will see.
Hmmmm, I never thought about that. However, I still doubt that this "Prince" is doing this for money. But you never know.
I have noticed when the media would report about this case on television, they do not report Michael's side. Hmmmmmm.

It was the same during 2005 trial the media were all over Snedon opening statement but when Mez started his opening we heard only few words about it.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
This stupid Prince is making me mad as hell. Why the hell do they need Michael there? They don't, and its starting to sound for real like somethings wrong with Michael and that's concerning. He can't come, so screw this fat rich boy and his stupid civil suit.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
This case seems completely stupid to me if there is not an actual document that Michael has signed saying he will take part in the Prince's plans. You can't buy someone a gift and ask for it back. Once you give it to them its theirs. Unless there is that document I don't understand why the Prince is pushing this. If this is just over him and his sour grapes then he is embarassing himself and weakening his reputation imo. Ofcourse we will only hear the Prince's side of the arguement as articles that say Michael is a financial success do not sell. I hope that a signed document does not exist and that the case concludes that although the Prince feels disappointed he won't be making mega bucks with Michael, there is not a reason why Michael should give him money.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
Now I'm wondering if the Prince wants MJ in the courtroom, so that he "might" have an opportunity to meet with MJ face to face.
I mean, I don't see what the big deal is, with MJ being there or not. Seems like something "else" is going on with the reasoning for MJ to make a personal appearance.

there have been a number of 'trials' over the years that were trying to get Michael to appear..because the participants were starstruck. judges included.

About those others, I think that folks were half thinking about how "good" they'd look to their peers if Michael showed up in their court.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
I knew something like this was on the cards as soon as I heard that he was staying with the Royals in Bahrain.
Fragile world-famous superstar who needs a place to be out of the spotlight meets millionaire royal prince with record company ambitions.
It was a recipe for disaster.
Michael, I believe, does not have good judgement when it comes to who to befriend. History has proven this to be true (although when you're Michael Jackson, the number of sharks in your sea increases sizeably).
Michael is eager to please and when the prince started talking about albums/2seas etc he probably felt he had to at least entertain the idea before going back to sleep in his room made out of gold at the palace lol
I can also see that the prince would be annoyed if one minute he's getting 'yes's from Michael and the next minute MJ has left the country never to return.
However, Michael isn't completely to blame as he was not in a good place after the trial, understandably, and the prince definitely took advantage of that.
Hopefully, we'll come to see that what is on paper amounts to very little and the Prince won't have a leg to stand on.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
indeed, i don't think good judgement is an issue..lol
everybody thinks they can be Michael's friend, but human nature makes it a hell of a mountain to climb, without wanting something in return, if most people would be honest...

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
I agree. I can´t say if this contract is valid or not but this is really how I feel.

Statistically, celebs and high profile people usually don't have to show up in court. They have people to do that for them lol, but it is the truth.
I don't see Michael show up at this one.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
To be fully honest back in 2005 I thought in the back of my mind that Michael was not REALLY planning to go forth with the projects they had planned over there. I mean working with Guy Holmes (claim to fame by creating Crazy Frog) The whole thing sempt unreal to me.
I could understand the fustration and anger the Prince has. BUT, to try to take back what he spent on Michael etc. as friends is really messed up. NOW if there were contracts signed between Mike and the Prince about projects, then I can see why there could be legal issues regarding that. But his reasons that we see taking to court is spending money on Michael and feeling hurt.. Well in the court of law FEELINGS are out the window. It's pure paper and facts.. (that's what it supposed to be anyways).
I don't see any reason why Mike should have to even go to court/trial ANYTHING.. this is dumb as far as we can see.

Re: Prince vs MJ Trial Thread
At the start of the hearing in London, Mr Justice Sweeney heard that an application would be made for Jackson to give evidence via video link from Los Angeles. Jackson, who is contesting the claim, says Sheikh Abdulla's case is based on "mistake, misrepresentation and undue influence" and that no project was ever finalised. He admits he signed a document which he understood gave him a substantial shareholding in Sheikh Abdulla's 2 Seas recording company. But he challenges the sheikh's description of him as "an experienced businessman" and says he did not read the terms of the document.
Jackson claims the contract was entered into on the basis of "false representations" that the recording company was "capable of releasing and distributing, on a worldwide basis, recordings by an artist of international repute". He also alleges that Sheikh Abdulla, a powerful and influential public figure, exercised "undue influence" over him when he was emotionally exhausted after his criminal trial.
Jackson travelled to Bahrain at the sheikh's invitation following his acquittal. Among Sheikh Abdulla's complaints is that, despite his having paid the cost of Jackson recording a song called "I Have This Dream" – intended to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina which hit New Orleans in August 2005 – the singer did not attend the studio for the final recording and the song was never released.
Sheikh Abdulla claims that both he and Jackson agreed the quality of his vocal track was not good enough for the single, but the star failed to attend the studios to re-record the song.
A DVD of the making of the recording of "I Have This Dream" in the Metropolis Studio was played in court. It showed screaming fans mobbing the star as he arrived, then Jackson singing a few lines from "I'm Into Something Good" and "Ferry 'Cross The Mersey" before trying a couple of lines from "I Have This Dream".
