pay damages

Former US President Donald Trump has been found liable to pay damages to London singer and songwriter Eddy Grant for using his song Electric Avenue without permission.

Last month the owner of a jet wash firm in Stoke-on-Trent agreed to pay damages and change the brand name after easyGroup threatened legal action.

That said, Rolling Stone might breach the contract anyway—something called efficient breach, a scenario in which it’s cheaper to pay damages than continue to lose money under the status quo.

Three other tour companies, Volcanic Air Safaris, Aerius Limited and Kahu NZ Limited, were also ordered to pay damages.

But through an agreement with prosecutors, the company agreed to pay damages to women who said they were forced to appear in pornographic videos that were then posted to the company’s websites without their consent.
