Facts
- Pop group “The Troggs” enter into an agreement with POR to be their managers
- After awhile, The Troggs decide to terminate their agreement (stating breach but this is not held to be the case by the judge) and employ a new manager
- The old manager sues
Held
- There was no evidence that the first manager breached the contract
- But just because the Manager can recover damages does not mean he can get specific performance
- To give specific performance would be to “tie together” two parties who don’t have any trust etc
- To enforce an injunction would really be to force the Defendant to act positively in relation to personal services, which cannot be done.
- Also it would severely detriment their careers and leave them starving
