AEI now wants Jackson to pay them $63,932 for the commission they lost and $36,068 for the money they’re out after arranging for his chartered private jet.

Jackson was supposed to address a November 2007 political rally for the United National Congress. The suit alleges that, after agreeing to speak, Jackson “cited a desire to avoid the perception of showing favoritism to a Trinidad and Tobago political party as his reason for not fulfilling his contractual duties.”

The agreement (which can be found at www.thesmokinggun.com) doesn’t read like a formal contract for sure. It looks like more of a memorandum with the pertinent terms outlined. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be upheld. It will be interesting to see what Jackson’s response to the suit is.
