DAMAGE AWARDS AND RESOLUTIONS

Judge Fusté (Opinion and Order here):
    a. $16,000 against ACEMLA-LAMCO. This is part of the money that was paid to ACEMLA-LAMCO by Banco Popular. This money can no longer be claimed (alleges Banco Popular) against Banco Popular (in another parallel case) by the Venegas heirs, so in reality nothing was received from ACEMLA-LAMCO.
    b. $5,000 from Peermusic.
    c. Assignment contracts were not rescinded.
    d. Widow of Venegas has rights in some 8 (renewal period) songs that the Puerto Rico courts had decided otherwise because, per (wrongly) Fusté, the Puerto Rico courts had not decided the ownership of songs in renewal period as alleged by ACEMLA-LAMCO (who had no right to interfere or make a claim on the matter).

Judge Delgado (Opinion and Order here):
    a. Song assignment contracts were rescinded.
    b. $130,000 against ACEMLA-LAMCO.
    b. ACEMLA-LAMCO: Its accounting is useless and is not trustful.
    c. Mr. Bernard’s (ACEMLA-LAMCO president) testimony "is totally unreliable".
