According to billboard.com, Michael Jackson’s estate won a tentative court ruling that would allow it to proceed with a $600 million sale of the singer’s catalog to Sony Music, by overcoming objections from Jackson’s mother that aimed to block the deal. Katherine Jackson had argued that the deal allegedly violated the terms of her son’s will but a California appeals court tentatively ruled on July 17 that Katherine had allegedly “forfeited” that argument by allegedly failing to argue it before a lower probate court.
