Writer John Musero can proceed with his lawsuit alleging his former CAA agent redeveloped his pilot script forwith another writer client without his knowledge or permission, an L.A. judge has ruled.
Orozco issued a tentative ruling ahead of a January 17 hearing, and took the matter under submission following oral arguments. Later that day, she decided to deny the agency's motion.Main Justice The writer argues that a CAA employee, whose job is to "resource materials" for agency clients, provided Penn reference materials forand that one of the available resources is CAA's database of client scripts.
