CBS says there was never any JudgeJudy' library sale (never mind the press release)

Now, CBS and the judge famous for her common sense are testing out a pretty bold proposition in real-life court. As legal papers filed this month put it, "There was never any sale of the rights or transfer of copyright ownership to any episode ofCBS is now doing some fancy footwork due to an ongoing lawsuit from Kaye Switzer and the Sandi Spreckman Trust.

"A review of the 2015 and 2017 Agreements reflects that no such sale to Sheindlin ever occurred, and so no sale back to the CBS Defendants occurred either," states court papers from the defendants filed earlier this month in anticipation of an Oct. 17 hearing. "The written contracts reflect that a sale to Sheindlin was contemplated, but never consummated."

The plaintiff's attorneys clearly think this logic to be patently ridiculous and have amended their breach-of-contract lawsuit to take issue with this seeming theory of rescission. They also bring claims of tortious interference and are targeting how CBS and Judge Judy are allegedly conspiring to deny Switzer and Spreckman a monetary share of proceeds from the $95 million sale.

That includes conversations to and from Sheindlin herself. CBS argues that it has turned over all relevant documents and the ones not produced in discovery are privileged. For example, there are four emails between Sheindlin and David Theodosopoulos, who spent 25 years up until May 2017 as an in-house attorney at CBS.
