Muchas Gracias!

To my friend Mike, whose highlighting of his Entertainment Law casebook has stood me in good stead when I found myself called on today in Entertainment Law - on Wachs v. Curry, 13 Cal.App.4th 616. (The Arsenio Hall case).

Thanks, Mike!

What details? Arsenio Hall's agents did something that pissed him off, so he went to the Labor Commissioner to have his contract with them terminated. The Commissioner not only terminated the contract (his agents weren't licensed), but also ruled that they had to return the money they'd earned from representing him (They'd made 2.6 M, and had to return about 2.4 M of it). They sued to have the CA statute that required licensing overturned as unconstitutional. THe judge found that it was constitutional after all. Some dicta indicated that if representation didn't make up a significant part of a person's business, the license requirements wouldn't apply, but that view has not been followed in subsequent cases.
