Gibson/Watson vs. Forbes
Just saw on the news that the legal action between Fred Gibson/Noel Watson and Bob Forbes is being heard in a Melbourne Court.
If I heard right, Gibson/Watson are claiming $20 million from Forbes over the signing of CL to Ford, future earnings and merchandising revenue. Interesting ........... |

yes, they went back into court today, if anyone wants some info on it.
send a e-mail or PM to me. They will also be going back this week, i will not post time or details about the case anymore, since it has started. i don't think it is as high as $20 million From Sheryl-lee - 00v8 Official Rodney Forbes Fan Club manager |

$20 million was the figure mentioned on Nine news in Melbourne.
If you get the chance check out Nine's late news. |

Thanks for the update Sheryl-lee.
Waiting for what can be made public, maybe then GTR could do another hypothetical story, like he did a couple of years ago -Brilliant it was! ![]() |

Probally on the basis of being his team "mate" at the time.Unless the Gibson/Skaife bussiness dealings from years ago led to Skaife being part of the company that was involved in the deal.
![]() ![]() Imagine that Skaifes company or part thereof being the negotiation tool that led to Lownes leaving Holden. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It says that Lowndes was getting pretty generous freight...and interestingly, looks like it could have increased over time

Skaife was a shareholder in Gibson Motorsport and it is probably in this role that he has been summonsed, rather than as a fellow employee of Lowndes at HRT.
I believe he sold out, but whether at the same time that Gibson sold to Dumbrell at the end of 99 or Dumbrell to Forbes at the end of 00 I am not sure. |

Mr Gibson's company has always owned 1/13 and 2/13 Kitchen Rd Dandenong, from the Gibson Motorsport days, to when Wynns Racing took up residence, the first version of Kmart Racing, and ultimately 00 Motorsport.
If I recall rightly, Mr Skaife was a shareholder in the entity that owned the building/premises, and presumably some of the internal improvements to this facility. |

Sub Judice is often used as a reason by politicians and other interested parties when they do not wish to comment on something, or if they're ignorant of what the law means. Most likely the former - used as an excuse. |
