It looks like Chris Fehn’s lawsuit against Slipknot will be continuing. According to MetalSucks, Melissa Anne Crane, a judge in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, indicated that the suit will be allowed to proceed following today’s (January 3) hearing.
As previously reported, Fehn was originally kicked out of Slipknot after filing a lawsuit against M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan and Corey Taylor for allegedly operating and making money on Slipknot affiliated businesses behind his back with assistance from their business manager Robert Shore. The claim against Shore was previously dismissed, but the claim against his company, Rob Shore & Associates, was allowed to proceed.
Further motions for dismissal filed by Crahan, Taylor, and various Slipknot business-related entities were heard today (January 3). For their part, Taylor and Crahan argued that Fehn filed the lawsuit in the wrong court since they have no business ties to New York and that he failed to state a cause of action.
However, Crane seemed to agree with Fehn’s decision to file in New York since Rob Shore & Associates is based there. She also indicated that the business entities fall under their general partnership. More info on all that can be found at MetalSucks.
It’s worth noting that there are no dates set for further hearings, but a compliance conference is set to take place on June 18.
