New York’s Manhattan Appeals Court has ruled that the record company of the late R&B/pop star Alliyah can’t sue the video producer who booked the private jet that crashed in the Bahamas in 2001, which killed the singer.
The decision is a reversal of a June 2004 ruling, which allowed Blackground Records to file suit because Alliyah was considered the prime “asset” of the company and “not just an employee”.
At press time, it’s uncertain if Blackground Records will continue pursuit of this lawsuit.
