BLOG: GETTING GRACE vs. HANNOVER HOUSE (and office
Post# of 7290
3). GETTING GRACE vs. HANNOVER HOUSE (and officers) - We prevailed in getting the case moved out of Pennsylvania and into Arkansas. While we are focused this week on some defensive (court-ordered / mandatory filings), within the next two weeks we will file our affirmative defenses to the lawsuit and the counter-claim for their improper termination of the agreement and engagement of another distributor (and then STILL suing for performance of the agreement that they terminated). It should be an obtainable win for HHSE. For what it's worth, it is our belief that there are both moral and legal questions regarding selling a film to TWO (2) different distributors, not informing the first distributor (who purportedly was a "friend" of the licensor) and then SUING the first company who thought they had the rights. We are so very disappointed in not being informed about such a major, material development - and then SUING us for payment of the minimum guarantee payment (that through Getting Grace's actions rendered impossible to achieve by virtue of selling the property twice).
In any event, we are cautiously optimistic that the Arkansas courts will evaluate this matter based on the factual record. Below is a photograph taken of HHSE C.E.O. Eric Parkinson with Getting Grace principal Daniel Roebuck - which we have since discovered was nearly sixty days AFTER Roebuck and Getting Grace had already hired ANOTHER DISTRIBUTOR for the film without telling "his dear friend, Eric Parkinson." The facts are on HHSE's side, so we hope that an impartial judicial analysis will result in our victory in this matter.
