Hipgnosis Songs Fund Holdings (SFH 1) Limited (appellant) v Manilow & others (respondents)
By Appellant’s Notice filed on 3 March 2025, the Claimant below appeals the order of Marcus Smith J dated 27 February 2025 in which he ordered that the claim for declarations in relation to the additional purchase price be stayed.
The background to these proceedings and those in California, is a Music Catalogue Agreement dated 20 March 2020 between the Claimant and the Defendants which made provision for the payment of certain receivables from D1’s recordings to C in return for payment of a purchase price comprising an initial purchase price and an additional purchase price. The application for permission to appeal arises from the Defendants’ application dated 13 November 2024 for an order that the English Court had no jurisdiction to hear certain claims pleaded.
