A state appellate court in California has tossed consumer protection and unfair competition claims against Sony Music Entertainment and the Estate of Michael Jackson over representations that the “King of Pop” was the lead singer on all the original songs released on the posthumous album “Michael.”
The ruling, issued Tuesday by the Second District Court of Appeal, is a win for the music label, the estate, and their lawyers at Katten Muchin Rosenman and Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump & Aldisert.
