Grace Borg files appeal over Thea Garret case
Music manager Grace Borg files appeal after court rejected request for damages over alleged breach of contract by singer Thea Garrett.
Music promoter Grace Borg today filed an appeal after having their case against former Malta Eurovision Song winner Thea Falzon Garret, and PBS, the Malta Eurovision organisers dismissed by court two weeks ago.
Borg and Milana insist that they had entered into an exclusive management agreement with Falzon Garret and demand compensation for damages after they accused the singer of violating the agreement.
However, in December, the court found that that there was no contractual agreement and Falzon Garrett was needlessly dragged into the case.
Borg, a former Malta Eurosong chairman pointed out that the singer had signed an exclusive management contract with Exotique Record Label before participating in the Maltasong contest.
After winning the contest and earning the right to reprexsent Malta at the Eurovision song contest, Thea signed a contract with PBS, as is normal practice with Eurosong winners, prompting the promoters to file a law suit against the national broadcaster over what they claims is a breach of the Exclusive Artist Management agreement.
The singer who represented Malta in the 2010 song contest, got entangled in a legal battle over a contract she had never signed, and a warrant of seizure for the sum of €15,000.
On the eve of the contest held in Oslo, a €18,333 warrant of seizure was issued but the court said that it felt that the complaint filed was nothing more than a manoeuvre aimed at demoralising the singer, causing her undue anxiety.
