The court on Friday sustained New Line's Demurrer that the only thing that the suit brought by the Estate only sustains a breach of contract action. I'm sure others can speak to what this means more to me but as I understand it it means that the Estate cannot seek punitive damages against New Line. Interesting . . . still doesn't change the fact that I think New Line needs to honor the contract and pay to the Estate what they are owed.
