A media report quoted the Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit saying
that Celador accused Disney of unlawfully interfering in its joint
venture with ABC and BVT by pressuring its subsidiaries to hike
production costs and refusing to renegotiate licensing fees for
better terms.
Under a JV with Celador, Buena Vista produced Millionaire
with host Regis Philbin, and the ABC network aired it starting on
16 August 1999, for 13 consecutive nights.
Smith, it is reported, is suing all three (Disney, ABC and BVT)
firms for undisclosed damages.
