#MJFam Court on Monday was interesting.We are happy with the outcome .Dan Reed was in court filming. So both sides go their chance to film. This was a very short hearing lasting about 6 minutes.
The judge makes a tentative ruling but gives the other side a chance to explain why the court made a mistake. If the arguments are valid then the court could change their ruling .The Judge asked if everyone had read the tentative.
The estate said they agreed with the tentative. Finaldi then says that everything we have to say regarding motion for summary judgement has been briefed. The morning papers contain the facts and evidence needed to make a forest decision and read the tentative
Finaldi continues the decision sets a dangerous precedent leaving 1000s of children vulnerable to sexual abuse by people in power within corporations in the state of California. The courts ignores evidence and misinterprets legal precedent and is wrong across the board
Finialldi continues by saying that judge Beckloff adapted the same suffered analysis and is incorrect. He continues to say it will become an issue for the court of appeals and the Supreme Court.
The judge asks Finaldi if he would like to go over specifics or mistakes he believes the court made. Finaldi says that they have been comprehensive and with 100s of pages of documents everything we have to say we have already said.
Jonathan Steinsapir the estate lawyer tells the Judge they had a causation for all 6 causes of action and the way the tentative is set up only notes it with respect to negligence claims. He wanted to confirm the judge recognized the issue raised.and the Judge says I do.
Jon says they submit on the tentative and the Judge then says to Finaldi that the courts decision doesn’t open the door to endangering 1000”s of children. Since Micheal Jackson passed away their only recourse is to go after and sue the entities.
Judge continues the court has concluded that despite what you submitted the ruling is a matter of law and the companies structure and control. Or lack of control over Micheal Jackson. Makes it impossible to have this go to trial.
Judge continues that there’s a difference in what your saying Mr. Finaldi and how the court ruled. He says I’m not opening the door to thousands of children being abused it’s about factual limitations and lack of control over entities..
Judge continues your trying to hold companies liable for conduct of someone who passed away. Finaldi says he understands the issue but that he’s been doing this his whole career and disagrees. The Ja judge then says the tentative will be the final ruling.
This was a short hearing but the outcome was very positive and a big step in vindicating Micheal Jackson across the board.
