The tale of alleged sex abuse in 'Leaving Neverland' was just the beginning...
HBO made waves back in March with, the tale of two individuals who allege suffering child sex abuse at the hands of Michael Jackson, and as the documentary competes for Emmy Awards at a ceremony on Sept. 22, a legal dispute has taken on a life of its own with important issues now before a California federal judge.by the Michael Jackson Estate is that it was quite atypical from the get-go and has only grown more curious in the months since.
When it comes to whether arbitration agreements govern a dispute, and whether a judge or arbitrator gets to decide jurisdiction, the Michael Jackson Estate and HBO are certainly not the first to battle over such a topic. Rather, what makes this situation particularly unique is the manner in which thecase has journeyed, beginning from the way that the Michael Jackson Estate attempted to compel arbitration.
Usually, when someone wants arbitration, they privately submit a demand before an alternative dispute resolution forum like JAMS or the American Arbitration Association. Resistance from the other side may mean going to court to force compliance with an arbitration agreement. In this instance, the Michael Jackson Estate wanted to make as much noise as possible as HBO prepared to broadcast . So days before the documentary aired, a petition in public court was filed that aimed to get HBO into arbitration. But notably, the court filing became a PR weapon against the documentary. Although the Michael Jackson Estate needn't have gone so far, the petition included substantial detail about the claims that would be brought once the two sides were engaged in arbitration.
