Following WEA's total acquisition of Radar, a legal tussle over the rights to Elvis Costello product has this week reached the High Court. A writ has been issued by Radarscope Records Ltd against Riviera Global Productions, Jake Riviera, Elvis Costello, CBS UK, and Andrew Lauder — former Radar MD.
Radarscope had been granted an ex parte injunction (which came up before a Judge in Chambers on Tuesday) preventing the manufacture or sale of any records by Costello through any other label but Radar. The terms of the writ, which names CBS only because that company presses the records, include a request for the courts to restrain Riviera Global and Jake Riviera from authorising or permitting the manufacture of Costello product, other than on Radar, before October 1982.
