Judge Throws Out Part of Courtney Love Suit
A judge thew out part of Courtney Love’s suit against Geffen Records but said the lead singer for the rock band Hole can press a claim that her contract was breached.
Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Fumiko Wasserman’s five-page ruling came three weeks after attorneys presented oral arguments in the case.
Wasserman found unconvincing Love’s argument that a labor code section allowing record companies to sue recording artists for damages was invalid and unconstitutional.
But the judge said a jury should decide whether Geffen “breached the recording agreement by failing to pay royalties.”
A final status conference in the case is set for today.
