What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MA
Hi,
I'm involved in a contempt lawsuit involving the filming of a movie I had initiated. I had asked someone to help me work on a film & he stole the footage & finished the film on his own & is now trying screen it & to take all the credit for it. I had sued him some years ago & we signed an agreement in meditation that said he would give me the proper credits which we would share, which are director & producer. He's failed to do that & I'm now in the middle of the 3rd contempt case that I've brought against him to to deal with the credit issue.
the judge at the last status hearing told the defendant that I could still "sue the defendant against the mediation agreement". I'm not sure what that means. is it a breach of contract issue? If so how do I go about doing that? The judge also got angry with the defendant & his lawyer saying that something should have been worked out years ago & I should be credited for my work. the next status hearing is March 15th.
also, can I file an injunction to stop the film from being screened? How does that work?
Thanks in advance for any help! Lenny
