Eric Many Wins N14m Suit
Frontline entertainment company and record label, Eric Many Entertainment has won a N14 million suit filed against it and its act, Douglas Jack Agu also known as Runtown by the Dynamic Minds League.
The suit was for claim of damages against Eric Many for a no-show’ by Runtown at a Carnival in Anambra State organised by the group in January 2015.
The case, suit NOLD/ADR/251/2015 was filed on 19th August 2015 by the Anambra group through its leader, Mr Chizuo Anetol.
They dragged Runtown, Eric Many Entertainment before the Lagos High Court claiming the sum of N14million as damages for failure of Runtown to perform at their Harmatan Anaocha in Anambra State.
Eric Many Lawyers, Chijioke Emeka and Colleagues (Auxamo Law) argued that the group first breached the contract having failed to provide all that was required and is good time for the artiste to make the appearance.
Eric Many’s case was that the group made inadequate shoddy arrangements. Being Christmas period, Eric Many’s crew had to sort out late hour flight ticket to Port Harcourt, instead of Asaba or Owerri nearer to Anaocha venue.
Upon landing in Port Harcourt it was late to proceed on a dangerous night road journey without adeguate security Eric Many’s lawyer claimed.
In his judgement, Hon Justice K.O. Alagba gave victory to Eric Many. The Judge found that the failure of Runtown to get to Adazi in Anambra State and perform at the carnival was justified as the group’s arrangement was very shoddy. The court agreed with Eric Many that the Dynamic friend’s league was reckless about the contract when it failed to book flight tickets a head.
