Heino wins trial against ex-manager: “Now it’s payday!”
Singer Heino also won the dispute against his ex-manager over outstanding fees at the Hamburg Higher Regional Court. The 85-year-old is pleased with the verdict.
Singer Heino (85) also won the second instance in the dispute over outstanding fees against his former manager. The Hamburg Higher Regional Court joined the regional court in the process and sentenced the manager to pay 76,470 euros plus nine percent interest since November 2019, as a court spokeswoman said upon request. The court did not allow an appeal.
“If you go to court at the age of 80 and then get the second-instance verdict at the age of almost 86, then you are happy that you can still experience that. The mill of justice grinds slowly, but fairly,” Heino told the German press -Agency. “Now it’s payday!”
Fees for appearances and autograph sessions
Heino had already had most of his claims recognized in the first instance before the Hamburg Regional Court in 2023. Even then, the sum owed to Heino was more than 100,000 euros. It should now be around 125,000 euros, said Heino’s new manager, Helmut Werner.
It was about fees for several appearances and an autograph session that the ex-manager still owed him. The court decision was unanimous and the ex-manager must pay the full court costs. When asked, he initially did not comment on the new court decision (ref.: 8 U 37/24).
