The estate of a Bob Dylan co-writer wants a court to revive a lawsuit seeking a cut of the estimated $300 million sale.
With the estate currently appealing that ruling, attorneys for Dylan filed his formal response on Wednesday – and they didn’t hold back.
The case was filed in January 2021 by Levy’s widow, Claudia Levy, a month after news broke that Dylan had Levy filed an appeal in November, arguing that Ostrager had botched the ruling by “citing inapposite cases and ignoring that critical information.” She called Dylan’s successful defense “the ultimate attempt to rewrite Levy out of Dylan’s history.”
“The plain language of the 1975 Agreement precludes plaintiffs’ effort to reap an unjustified windfall from the sale of Dylan’s copyrights,” Snyder wrote.
