Since April last year, Florida-based Worldwide Entertainment Group Inc., promoters of the Ultra Miami Music Festival, and Adria MM Productions Ltd., a Croatian company that produces music festivals in Croatia and Europe, have been in litigation. Yesterday, the suit finally concluded, with both parties being found guilty of respective offenses.
Yano Rubinstein, lead counsel for Adria, claimed that Worldwide had “secretly sabotaged Adria’s communication channels, both internally and with its customers.” Effectively, Rubinstein claimed, Worldwide had tapped Adria’s emails by changing their passwords and forwarding all emails to Worldwide’s attorneys. Adria’s company emails and social media pages were also affected.”
Worldwide also allegedly told ticket vendors to turn over all proceeds to them directly.
Rubinstein continued, “They learned that Adria was discussing doing a different festival with someone Worldwide considered a competitor. Once Worldwide realized that Adria was not likely to sign another five-year contract, they did everything they could to force Adria to sign. This included seizing the monies from the ticket sales.”
A Miami judge declared Worldwide was guilty of breach of contract and intentional interference with the business relations of Adria and ordered the company to pay $866,000 in damages. However, the jury also found that Adria had breached its contract with Worldwide, and owed $366,211 in damages.
As for how this affects Ultra Europe in 2019 is unclear.
