January 04 : Accusers can pursue lawsuits against Michael Jackson’s companies, court says.
A California appeals court ruled that Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who appeared in the movie “Leaving Neverland,” could pursue their claims because of a change in California law. A lower court had dismissed lawsuits brought by the two men in 2014 because California’s statute of limitations required that claims of childhood sexual abuse be filed before an accuser’s 26th birthday. However a new law, which came into effect on 1 January, extends the timeframe up to a person’s 40th birthday.
