JACKSON'S MOTHER WANTS COMEBACK CONCERTS CONTRACT
MICHAEL JACKSON's mother is demanding access to contracts her late son signed with the promoters behind his comeback shows in London.

Controversy still surrounds Jackson's decision to perform an exhausting 50 shows in the British capital, which were due to begin this month (Jul09) - and Katherine Jackson is determined to get to the bottom of the agreement between her son and AEG Live bosses.
The Jackson family matriarch filed court papers on Tuesday (28Jul09) demanding the production of financial documents and contracts her son entered into with his lawyers, record label and concert officials - and even his father Joe.
Katherine insists she had no choice but to file official documents because, "The special administrators (of Jackson's estate) have, up to this point, refused all requests," insisting the attorneys for her son's estate are "intent on keeping her in the dark as much and for as long as possible."
The lawyers and promoters she is targeting claim Jackson's request is "burdensome and invasive."
The attorneys have also expressed concern that Katherine would not uphold a confidentiality agreement surrounding the concert deal: "Without the safeguards necessary to ensure the continued confidentiality of the artist agreement and any proposed modifications, AEG cannot provide such information to Ms. Jackson or her counsel without risking serious harm to its business."
Katherine Jackson was initially granted temporary control of her son's estate shortly after Jackson's death in June (09), but a 2002 will made it clear that the King of Pop wanted lawyer John Branca and business associate John McClain to oversee his affairs if he died. The two men were named temporary administrators of the estate at the beginning of July (09).
The administration battle will return to court next week (03Aug09).
