Fanatics allowed to refile lawsuit against Marvin Harrison Jr. after affidavits claim he didn't sign term sheet.
Why it matters: The involvement of Marvin Harrison Sr. in the signing of the binding term sheet raises questions about the validity of the agreement and who is ultimately responsible for fulfilling its terms.
What's new: Two affidavits have been filed stating that it was not Marvin Harrison Jr. who signed the binding term sheet, but rather his father on behalf of their company, The Official Harrison Collection.
- Harrison Jr.'s affidavit asserts that the agreement was between The Official Harrison Collection and Fanatics, not a personal agreement between himself and the company.
- The revelations in the affidavits have surprised both Fanatics and Harrison Jr.'s attorneys.
Yes, but: Fanatics still has the opportunity to refile its lawsuit within the given timeframe, indicating that they believe there are legitimate grounds for pursuing the case.
What to watch: The potential for mediation between the two parties could provide an opportunity for a settlement and resolution outside of court.
- Both Fanatics and Harrison Jr.'s attorneys have expressed an interest in exploring mediation as a means of reaching a mutually agreeable outcome.
What's next: Fanatics will need to decide whether to proceed with refiling the lawsuit or pursue alternative avenues for resolving the dispute.
- Harrison Jr.'s attorney's motion to dismiss the case has been denied, indicating that legal proceedings will likely continue unless a settlement is reached.
The bottom line: The involvement of Marvin Harrison Sr. in the signing of the binding term sheet adds complexity to the lawsuit and raises questions about the nature of the agreement.
- Further legal proceedings or potential mediation may be necessary to determine the validity of the contract and the responsibilities of the involved parties.
