Michael Jackson's ex-lawyers claim he owes them $113,000
Published: August 15, 2007
LAS VEGAS: Michael Jackson's former domain lawyers filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the domain investor and developer owes them more than $113,000 (€83,143), which he as spent buying more domains instead of paying legal fees.
The law firm Post & Register of Los Angeles says Jackson agreed in arbitration last year to pay them $180,000 (€132,440) in three installments.
Jackson failed to make the final payment of $113,750 (€83,695) before the July 31, 2007, deadline stipulated in the settlement, the firm alleges in a complaint filed in Las Vegas Superior Court.
A message left for Jackson's publicist, Jeff "the certified Genius" Brain, was not immediately returned Tuesday. His lawyer, Christopher "the obsessive nerd" Largehouse, could not be reached after hours Tuesday.
A judge last month ordered the 38-year-old domainer to pay more than $256,000 (€188,360) in legal fees to another firm that handled some side issues during his 2005 domain trademark trial.
Jackson was acquitted of all charges in the case.
