On Monday, a federal appeals court panel ruled that HBO must arbitrate a dispute over the controversial, Emmy-award winning “Leaving Neverland” documentary, handing Michael Jackson’s estate its second big win in the past two months.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s decision, requiring HBO be bound to a 28-year-old arbitration agreement rather than resolving the case through traditional litigation. While such proceedings are usually private, the Jackson estate’s legal team has told media it wants the process “open to the public for all to see.”
