True it could be Saul Zaentz, or whatever rights got split up over the various years. But Zaentz is another plaintiff, along with the Trust, and the Trust is not suing Zaentz so I guess they don't think it is his responsibility.
This could be trying to suck New Line completely dry, but just realize that New Line does not have a good track record at making payments. They failed to pay Jackson what they said they would, they failed to pay a group of LOTR actors, they failed to pay Zaentz, and now the Trust believes they didn't get paid what is owed to them. It's hard to make any good defense for New Line, other than admitting they didn't own up to a contract, considering their track record.

If New Line is found negligent, can they not be required to pay the Trust's legal costs?~Bethberry

I believe that is something the Trust would have to ask for in their lawsuit...I haven't looked at it in a long time, so I forget whether they have or not. But, a judge cannot award money to someone if that person/group of people isn't asking for it.
