Instead, the estate accused HBO of violating a non-disparagement clause contained in a 1992 contract. This was for a concert film from the \u201cDangerous\u201d tour. The clause bars HBO from making \u201cdisparaging remarks\u201d about Jackson or doing anything. Especially something that may harm or disparage or cause to lower in esteem\u201d Jackson\u2019s image and reputation. The estate is seeking to compel a public arbitration of the issue.<ins><\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There was opposition on Thursday regarding this issue as well. HBO\u2019s lawyers Daniel Petrocelli and Theodore Boutrous argue that the contract expired once both sides fulfilled their obligations.
