Message: [QUOTE="Black Panther, post: 13926, member: 3"] Litigation is a very expensive pursuit for many Zimdancehall artists. However, a judge will try as much as they can to uphold the terms and conditions between a music management company and the Zimdancehall artist in question. In legal jargon, this is what you'd call judicial restraint. Where a judge enforces either a music management agreement, a music publishing contract, a 360 record contract, etc based on the terms both parties initially agreed upon. But sometimes a judge can carry out judicial activism if he or she personally finds that the contract wasn't fair (unconscionable) to the recording artist. So when you see recording artists suing record labels, music publishing companies, music management companies they always hope for some kind of judicial activism over judicial restraint because it will be a nightmare if the judge enforces the previous agreement.
