RE Tohme, TAA and the Estate:

The Estate of Michael Jackson went to the Labor Commissioner last year, stating that they wanted all the agreements between Tohme and Jackson declared null and void. The reason that the Estate went to the Labor Commissioner is because they have to in order for the issue to move onto the court system.

"The Talent Agencies Act (TAA) defines talent agencies or persons as 'persons or corporations that procure professional employment or engagements' for creative or performing artists in the entertainment media, including theater, movies, radio and television. ...The TAA prohibits unlicensed individuals from 'procurring, offering, promising, or attempting to procure employment or engagements for an artist."

The Estate's premise is that Tohme was not licensed at the time of any of the agreements made between he and Michael Jackson. Therefore, all agreements between the two should be declared null and void. This would include the finder's agreement Tohme had for 10% of the sale of Neverland, the services agreement for 35,000 a month, the power of attorneys agreements, and the indemnity agreements.

Although far reaching, I would hope that if Tohme was found to not be a legal talent agent, it would negatively affect everything Tohme touched in Michael's life; including the sale of Neverland and the AEG contract. We can always hope, can't we?
