Victory Records V. Victory Record

Improved Essays
No. 11-cv-7594 The plaintiffs, A Day to Remember, entered into a recording contract, which will be recognized as the “Deal Memo”, with the defendants, Victory Records Inc. on July 17, 2006. Under the “Deal Memo”, A Day to Remember was to produce at least five albums through Victory Records Inc. A Day to Remember is seeking to end their business relationship with the defendant as they claim they have fulfilled their contractual obligations and released at least thirteen albums through Victory Records Inc. A Day to Remember also alleges that Victory Records Inc. has attempted to copyright certain band compositions, neglected to pay certain royalties and has held certain fund from the band. Victory denies these allegations and counterclaims that A Day to Remember breached terms of their agreement. A Day to Remember intends to self-release their newest album titled Common Courtesy on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Victory Records objects to A Day to Remember’s intentions and asks the court to issue a preliminary injunction to keep the band from releasing …show more content…
then claimed that difficulty determining lost profits due to the release of Common Courtesy would cause them to suffer irreparable harm. As a record label, Victory Records claims they would have participated in the marketing, producing and distribution of Common Courtesy. Because they had not been involved, it would be near impossible to determine monetary damages. According to Victory Records Inc., the sales and profits from Common Courtesy, upon its release, would be higher had they played a role in its production and distribution. The argument put forth by Victory Records is invalid, assumptive and unpersuasive because the three releases by A Day to Remember that Victory defines as albums were all financially successful. Using previous financial records, it would be incredibly simple to determine the approximate sales and profits of Common Courtesy had Victory been involved in the

    Yoely Brach Case Summary

    • 1247 Words

    Honorable Judge Schmidt: We are confused and baffled by Isaac Oberlander’s demands and ultimatums. Firstly, let us set the record straight: Yoely Brach (“Yoely”) is the defendant and should not dictate the terms of any arbitration proceedings. The fact remains that Mr. Jacob Guttman, the owner of Court Street Office Supplies, Inc. (“Company”), employed Yoely – right out of Kollel with no formal or general education – out of kindheartedness and compassion to his son-in-law. As Yoely mistook his father-in-law’s unselfishness for weakness, he engaged in erratic behavior, breached his fiduciary duties to the Company, and embezzled the Company by hundreds of thousands of dollars.…

    Promissory Estoppel Essay

    • 707 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This essay seeks to discuss the Doctrine of Promissory Estoppel and the Doctrine of Consideration, as well as a clear analysis, with the use of case law, how Promissory Estoppel has become an exception to the general principle that a promise may only be enforced if it is supported by good consideration; it will ultimately conclude whether or not a promise to accept a smaller sum in discharge of a larger sum, if acted upon, is binding notwithstanding the absence of consideration. A contract is a legally binding agreement in law between two or more parties, which is enforced by law or by binding arbitration if it covers the elements of a valid legal agreement. For there to be a valid contract, three elements must be present, offer, acceptance, and consideration. If there is no consideration, there is no contract; however, with promissory estoppel instead of consideration, if there is a promise which induces reliance, the court would find some sort of liability for the promise.…
