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 ........... |

$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. |
