Firm Sues Courtney Love Over Nirvana Catalog Sale

A business management and accounting firm sued Courtney Love for nearly $1 million on Tuesday, claiming she failed to pay them a share of profits from the sale of Nirvana's publishing catalog.

Love is the widow of Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. The five-page lawsuit filed in Los Angeles Superior Court Tuesday afternoon claims she sold a portion of his share of Nirvana's publishing catalog for $19.5 million.

Los Angeles-based London & Co. alleges Love broke an oral contract to share 5 percent of any of her earnings or those from her company, The End of Music.

That company, according to the lawsuit, was created to manage Cobain's intellectual property, including his career with Nirvana.

London & Co. claims its share from the sale would have been $975,000.

im no lawyer but i don't think oral agreements are legaly binding in most cases becasue they are hard to prove

Yeah an oral contract is hard to prove unless you have it recorded.

oral agreements are nearly impossible to prove in court, even if you have witnesses.
having hard evidence is recommended, however you cannot secretly record a conversation with someone unless you have their consent first

I like what it says on the front page. "Like she cares."

actually in Arizona you can, but it still have to follow some certain rules to secretly record a conversation.
