Talk about a hefty Christmas present. A concert set designer has reportedly filed a million-dollar lawsuit against the tour company of R&B star Chris Brown.

John Troxtel alleges that Brown’s touring company didn’t own up to their end of the bargain after a verbal agreement for his work designing the sets for Brown's "Up Close and Personal" Tour. Troxtel, who has designed concert settings for artists ranging from Michael Jackson, to Eminem and Snoop Dogg, says he was paid for some of his design work, but more work “was required and requested,” TMZ reports.

Troxtel claims that Brown’s touring company refused to pony up the cash. He is suing for breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

Sooo, the kid gets sued. Welcome to the big leads kid.

I think I have seen enough Judge Judy's to know that that shit dont hold up unless the other agrees

A verbal AGREEMENT takes 2 people.

How is a verbal agreement a contract? It is basically hearsay. "he agreed" to do this and this/...when it could have not happened at all. If you are dealing with a international star, people should have all their t's crossed and their i's dotted. Have the shit on paper to prove it.

Are u saying this guy did this work, received partial payment and had no agreement? How did he know what 2 do? Why was he paid at all? Someone needs 2 take a LAW class.
