More pop court news, and more on Michael Jackson's legal affairs. The singer has reached a settlement with an LA antiques firm called Kamand Enterprise who were suing him for $178,000, a sum they alleged was owed on purchases made by Jacko back in 2004. The case had been due to go to court in LA on Monday. While Jackson may not have been required to attend the hearing himself, the lawsuit was nevertheless problematic given that the singer is no longer residing in the US. It is likely that that had an influence on Jacko's decision to settle. Neither side in the dispute revealed much information about the settlement, except that it seems the items Jacko owed money for were returned to the antiques firm. A spokesman for Jacko told reporters: "There was a return of some disputed items of furniture", while the lawyer representing Kamand Enterprise said, simply: "The matter was resolved to the satisfaction of all parties".
