Singer Michael Jackson Sues Auction House

On Wednesday, the singer Michael Jackson filed a lawsuit against Julien's Auction House to halt the scheduled sale of thousands of his personal items. The lawsuit claims that the founder Darren Julien promised to send Jackson an inventory of sale items, but Jackson hasn't given the permission to move them all. Many of the items that are up for auction are also considered priceless and irreplaceable. The attempt to sell them was described as malicious, fraudulent, extreme, outrageous, and without any legal justification as described in the lawsuit.

In December, Julien's Auction House announced that it would hold a five day auction in April for more than 2,000 of Jackson's personal items, including awards, clothing, celebrity signed items, a customized Harley Davidson, a Rolls Royce limousine, and artwork. Jackson's company authorized the auction house to remove the items from Neverland Ranch but not to sell them without Jackson's permission.
