Grace Borg and Andrea Milana have filed an appeal against a court judgment which had dismissed their claim of an exclusive artist agency and management agreement in respect of singer Thea Falzon Garrett.

On November 6, the court dismissed the claim on the basis that the 17-year-old singer's parents could not have signed on her behalf without the authorisation of a court.

In their appeal, Ms Borg and Mr Milana claimed that both Ms Falzon Garrett’s parents as well as Ms Falzon Garrett herself, had signed the contract. The agreement, for the promotion of Ms Garrett and her representation in all aspects of the entertainment industry, was signed when Ms Falzon Garrett was still a minor.

Ms Borg was to receive 15 per cent of the income earned by the artiste during the operative term of the contract, which was valid for one year. She had claimed she was owed €18,000 for the services she had provided Ms Falzon Garrett.

The court had ruled that Ms Falzon Garrett's parents created obligations on the part of both Ms Borg and the singer. This meant that her parents had carried out an act of extraordinary administration without the court's authorisation, which was necessary.

It concluded that the agreement was not legally binding on Ms Falzon Garrett and dismissed the claim against her.

In their appeal, Ms Borg and Mr Milana argued that the court’s interpretation of the facts was wrong, in the sense that the parents could sign on behalf the daughter and both the parents and the daughter had admitted that the contract existed.

They claimed that they honoured the contract in good faith, and this was documented.

They called on the court to revoke and its judgement of November 6.
