Lawyers for Michael Jackson’s companies informed the court that they are agreeing with Wade Robson and James Safechuck’s plea to consolidate their lawsuits into one case.
This motion to combine cases was filled at the beginning of the month.
However, they put on record that Safechuck & Robson should have consulted with them before filing their motion.
“Plaintiffs’ counsel did not contact Defendants’ counsel before filing their consolidation motion. Had Defendants’ counsel been contacted, the parties could likely have resolved this matter without unnecessary motion practice,” said the response to the motion.
The Estate also requested to move the case to the Complex Litigation Program which means the case will move court location in Los Angeles.
