A Canadian supreme court has ordered the presence of Lebanese singer Nawal Al Zoughbi for the trial on November 31, in which she is facing a lawsuit from one of the concert agents.
Producer and sponsor Michel Absi owner of ANG entertainment has sued the singer for not abiding to a contract the two had signed. The trial has been dragging on for almost a year and Nawal had attended the first sessions, but then failed to be present at the hearings.
Disputes between Nawal and Michel began when the singer did not hold a previously scheduled concert in California sponsored by Michel in 2004, but due to the fact that the singer’s bands were not given visas the concert was concert.
Michel had also claimed that he signed a contract with Nawal’s former business manager to hold a number of concerts around the US and Canada, but the singer stressed that the contract was signed without her prior knowledge.
In his lawsuit, Michel is demanding financial compensations for the losses the singer caused him, in addition to a ban forbidding Nawal to hold any performances in Canada, reported the London based Elaph.
Al Zoughbi has finally completed recording the songs for her upcoming album. The new album, which will be produced by Alam El Phan, features ten songs sung in different dialects.
Nawal has denied rumors over the existence of disputes between her and production company ‘Alam El Phan.’
The singer confirmed that she has not broken her contract with the company, mentioning her strong ties with the company and its owner Muhsin Jaber.
