The New York Supreme Court has allowed a $45 million loan lawsuit against Harvey Weinstein to resume on Friday after pausing it for bankruptcy proceedings for The Weinstein Company (TWC) to complete. The case is set to return to court Nov. 27.
According to filings obtained by TheWrap, the company AI International Holdings filed the lawsuit against Weinstein and TWC back in November, when Weinstein was fired from his company amid multiple sexual assault allegations. AI argued that Weinstein’s dismissal prompted the loan being due immediately because of an “adverse” change in how the business was run.
In April, after TWC began bankruptcy proceedings, a New York judge granted a temporary stay on the AI lawsuit.
