Harry Potter and Medal of Honour game developer Visual Science, based in Dundee, seeks bankruptcy protection and plans legal action against Vivendi after Vivendi terminated a development contract “without grounds”.
Dale’s Comment: This will all, of course, hinge on the terms of the development agreement. Did Vivendi actually “need” to have a reason for terminating? Commercial agreements frequently have termination for convenience clauses which allow one party to terminate the agreement for any reason or no reason at all.
