Montreal-based Kaytel Video Distribution has won a $2.27 million judgment in its breach of contract suit against Sineplex Entertainment.
The ruling issued Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, means Kaytel may now pursue Sineplex officials individually in court.
“We got everything we wanted with this judgment,” said Alain Elmaleh, Kaytel’s president. “We had a contract with this company and they violated it.”
Last year, Kaytel sued Sineplex, claiming the company violated its exclusive distribution contract. In the suit, Kaytel cited Sineplex for breach of contract, the illegal sale of licenses it owned and sought the reimbursement of monies owed.
Calls to Sineplex were not returned.
A hearing is scheduled for Jan. 31 on a motion to amend the suit to include fraud.
Sineplex is known for such titles as Chasin’ Tail, Bella’s Perversions, Hardcore Climax and a variety of others.
