Don’t you just hate it when things go sour between former bandmates? Well, that’s what’s happening between ex-Busted boys James Bourne and Matt Willis and their pre-Busted friends Ki McPhail and Owen Doyle.

The case hinges on the claim that the band’s manager Richard Rashman ousted McPhail and Doyle from the band and forced them to give up their rights to the songs they co-wrote with Bourne and Willis.

The whole story is pretty tedious really, and I can’t imagine how these guys were naive enough to give up the rights to a string of hit singles without taking advice in the industry. There’s also the allegation that McPhail’s parents would somehow lose their house, which isn’t properly explained. Would the cost of a legal battle have bankrupted them, or was there a chance of them being counter-sued for some reason.

The only reason I’m reporting this one? One joke. Punning on Busted’s best known song - “That’s What I Go To Court For”…
