Chris Brown sued by injured fan

-


Chris Brown is being sued by a fan for negligence, stemming from a nightclub shooting in January.
Paul Briley has filed a new lawsuit against the Loyal hitmaker and Fiesta Nightclub in San Jose, California, claiming they "failed to provide adequate security" and "failed to implement security procedures" before five people were shot and injured at the end of the singer's performance there earlier this year.
The defendant, who was among the victims, is seeking damages for all of his "physical, mental and emotional pain and suffering" he endured and continues to experience, according to court documents obtained by E! News.
But the 26-year-old star's legal team believe the lawsuit will be dismissed by a judge and they are planning to counter-sue.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the singer said: "It is a poor reflection of our society that violence is so prevalent and it is always a tragedy when someone is physically harmed.
"However, this is a completely frivolous lawsuit. We expect that the case will be dismissed and in future, to avoid these reoccurring meritless lawsuits directed at Chris Brown, we plan to seek damages from all parties and their lawyers."
Chris is also currently embroiled in a custody battle with Nia Guzman over their 15-month-old daughter, Royalty.

  Oil firm Royal Dutch Shell was told a pipeline had reached the end of its life years before it spilled up to 500,000 barrels of oil, according to court documents seen by the BBC. Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
