Michael Jackson 'lawsuit dismissed'

A lawsuit filed against the late Michael Jackson over a cancelled concert has been dismissed.

The suit stemmed from Allgood Entertainment's claim that the singer reneged on a deal to stage and perform in a Jackson family reunion concert.

The company filed suit against Jackson in 2009 and pursued legal action even after the 'Thriller' musician died in June of last year, according to The AP.

A district court judge in New York ruled in favour of the popstar's estate and dismissed all charges in the case.

In his judicial opinion, Harold Baer Jr. wrote that it had actually been Allgood Entertainment, not Jackson, that had broken the contractual agreement between the two parties.
