Michael Jackson 'too sick' to go to court

Unfit for travel: 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson. (Reuters: Kiyoshi Ota, file photo)
A court in London has been told that pop star Michael Jackson is too sick to travel to London to take part in a court case initiated by Bahrain's royal family.

Jackson's lawyer presented London's High Court with a medical report on the entertainer's condition.

It said that on a best case prognosis it would be unwise for him to travel given his condition, which was not specified.

Sheikh Abdulla bin Hamad Al Khalifa, second son of the King of Bahrain, is suing his cash-strapped former friend Jackson for $US7 million ($10.9 million), demanding the repayment of several advances which the artist has argued were gifts.

According to the prince's lawyer Bankim Thanki, Jackson signed a contract to record albums, write an autobiography and stage shows, and that document noted that $US7 million would be deducted from the artist's royalties to pay for the expenses.

Jackson has asked to testify via video link from the United States.


'Personal betrayal'

Jackson visited Bahrain with his children and personal staff in the aftermath of his 2005 child molestation trial, and left in May 2006 to go to Europe and Japan.

A month later, he asked Sheikh Abdulla to sign a document releasing him from his obligations under the previous contract - a request the prince refused, Mr Thanki said.

"My client felt a strong sense of personal betrayal because this was someone he considered a close personal friend," he told the court.

"The work they had done together and the plans for the future all seemed to be totally frustrated."

Representing Jackson, Robert Englehart said: "There is no doubt that Sheikh Abdulla was very generous in his hospitality and general treatment of Michael Jackson."

"It will be my submission that this contract is clearly intended by both parties to be one of the contractual arrangements in a joint venture which never actually materialised," he added.

"This was one brick in a building which was never built."

Mr Thanki told the court on Monday that Jackson and the Sheikh have a "close personal relationship" and even collaborated on a musical project - Jackson recorded a song written by the prince which was planned as a charity single.

A recording of the song will be played in court during the trial.

The Sheikh's lawyer said he helped support Jackson financially after the 2005 trial, including a request for $US1 million in April 2005 and the $US2.2 million legal bill for the court case.

Jackson contests the claim, saying the Sheikh's case is based on "mistake, misrepresentation and undue influence."

@arabian nights...  now that IS interesting, what you have put above.

RANDY JACKSON....   :shock:   MICHAEL BLAMED RANDY!!!!    Yet Randy is the one now who is apart from the other brothers and doesnt agree with TII and their reality show.
Randy was the one who was always portrayed as being close to MJ at the end...  yet here we have MJ blaming Randy for trying to steal his fortune.
I agree, found it peculiar as well.

And Michael is the one we should always listen to.  The truth resonates from MJ.
