A Florida federal judge declined Monday to vacate an arbitral award issued to sunglasses maker Verso Israel LLC in a $3 million dispute with an Israeli popstar accused of undercutting a deal to promote the brand, ruling that the pop star’s motion was filed far too late.
U.S. District Judge Raag Singhal denied the motion to vacate the final judgment against PAI Production Adam Investment Ltd., which is owned by Israeli pop star Omer Adam, after finding that the company failed to do due diligence to discover the fraud it alleged occurred in an arbitration proceeding where PAI failed to appear.
Verso Israel, LLC is represented by Jordan A. Shaw, Zachary Ludens, and Lauren N. Palen from Shaw Lewenz.
