Court Case
In a British High Court of Justice case in the mid-1970s, which was abandoned by both sides due to escalating costs, Clemens claimed that he had told writer Terry Nation the concept for Nation's 1975 TV series Survivors in the late 1960s and had registered the idea with the Writers' Guild of Great Britain in 1965.

Famous quotes containing the words court and/or case:
“Follow a shaddow, it still flies you;
Seeme to flye it, it will pursue:
So court a mistris, shee denyes you;
Let her alone, shee will court you.
Say, are not women truely, then,
Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?
At morne, and even, shades are longest;
At noone, they are or short, or none:
So men at weakest, they are strongest,
But grant us perfect, they’re not knowne.
Say, are not women truely, then,
Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“In sane moments we regard only the facts, the case that is.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
