Key matters of a legal dispute involving a founding member of the iconic rock band The Romantics have been put into question following a Michigan appellate judge’s comments. The musician, who was striving to regain control over the band’s finances, was recently criticized heavily by the judge for what was described as the “incompetence” of his trial lawyers. Their perceived incompetence was based on the judge’s finding that they had simply copied the argument of the opposing side in their trial brief.
According to the judge’s comments, it would seem that despite the band member’s efforts in his trial, the copied brief incident might prove a substantial obstacle in his path towards reclaiming control over the band’s financial affairs. His legal team’s approach, as revealed by the judge’s criticisms, may likely impact the overall verdict, potentially jeopardizing the musician’s case.
