AllGood Entertainment sued Frank Dileo, Jackson&#8217;s alleged manger, along with Dileo Entertainment, AEG and the special administrators of Jackson&#8217;s estate, John Branca and John McClain.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. District Judge Harold Baer Jr. dismissed claims for fraud and tortious interference with contract but allowed a claim for breach of contract to proceed. Trial is set for October.<\/p>\n<p>AllGood claims it had a binding agreement with the pop star&#8217;s management in which it would produce his first concert tour in years or a Jackson Family reunion concert featuring Michael, Janet and others. Dileo allegedly signed a deal with AllGood for a concert tentatively titled &#8220;The Jackson Family Reunion: A Concert for the World,&#8221; in consideration for $24 million. Another $2 million went to Dileo Entertainment as a partial payment, AllGood said. Michael Jackson died in June 2009 in his Los Angeles home of a drug overdose while preparing for a series of comeback concerts in London, which were going to be produced by AEG.<\/p>\n<p>Dileo allegedly told AllGood CEO Patrick Allocco that he was Michael Jackson&#8217;s manager and &#8220;could make the [e]vent a reality.&#8221; Dileo said that he already spoke to Jackson about the idea and that the pop star was &#8220;very interested.&#8221; Dileo represented that he had &#8220;the power to bind [Michael] Jackson and\/or the Jackson Family to an agreement requiring them to perform,&#8221; the lawsuit claims.<\/p>\n<p>After a deal was signed, AllGood claims, it learned Jackson and Dileo &#8220;secretly teamed up&#8221; with the AEG Defendants to produce a concert or series of concerts in London, along with &#8220;perhaps&#8221; a pay-per-view Jackson Family reunion event. AllGood asserts that &#8220;AEG knew of a deal between Dileo and AllGood, but due to &#8216;dominance and power in the live performance industry, coerced and\/or induced Dileo and Jackson to disregard the agreements with AllGood and to work with it instead,'&#8221; according to the lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Judge Baer wasn&#8217;t fully convinced.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Dileo defendants make a strong showing, based on the plain language of the contract, that the binding agreement is merely an agreement to agree and should not be construed as an enforceable contract,&#8221; Baer wrote. &#8220;The document itself states that it is a &#8216;letter of intent.'&#8221; Baer noted that &#8220;the location of the performance is not listed and a number of the conditions are at best vaguely described or set to be negotiated at a later date,&#8221; the ruling states.<\/p>\n<p>The contract required some sort of &#8220;written confirmation&#8221; from Michael Jackson and possibly the Jackson family as well, according to the judge.<\/p>\n<p>But Baer said there was &#8220;sufficient factual ambiguity that it would not be appropriate to dismiss as matter of law at the pleading state.&#8221; AllGood argued that the deal was not an &#8220;agreement to agree&#8221; but an enforceable contract.&#8221;While I am highly skeptical that this in fact amounts to a complete and enforceable agreement, any judgment about the meaning of this ambiguous agreement necessarily requires an inquiry into the actual facts and is better suited for a motion after discovery or a jury,&#8221; the judge concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.courthousenews.com\/2010\/07\/02\/28582.htm\">CourtHousenews<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge in Manhattan dismissed most of a $300 million lawsuit accusing Michael Jackson&#8217;s proported ex-manager and AEG, the promoter of Jackson&#8217;s &#8220;This Is It&#8221; tour, of cutting another promoter out of a deal to produce the return concert for the King of Pop.
