The appellants appealed a judgment confirming a Master's report on an accounting of music royalties for the song 'When I Am With You'.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the corporate publisher's appeal regarding the calculation of co-publishing revenues and prejudgment interest.
However, the Court allowed the appeal of the corporation's directing mind, finding no basis to pierce the corporate veil and hold him personally liable.
The Court also allowed the respondents' cross-appeal, finding that performing rights royalties should be included in the calculation of co-publishing revenues based on the plain meaning of the agreement and the parties' prior conduct.
