The verdict is in! Local real estate company owner, Richard Davis, sued A&E for $7.5 million over a contract to split profits from the TV pilot show, Flip this House. During the 1st season, Davis was created as the creator but never received payment from the wildly popular show. This week the jury awarded Davis $4 million in damages for breach of an oral contract.
You can imagine that Davis and his legal team are happy with the verdict. His attorney admitted, "...It's very tough to prove you had an oral contract with a major network." A&E sure is disappointed and I imagine an appeal will be filed.
What's the moral of this story? GET IT IN WRITING!!!!
