Robert Englehart presented judge Nigel Sweeney with a medical report on Jackson's condition which was not read out in open court. "On a best-case prognosis, it would be unwise for him to travel given what he's got now," he told the High Court, declining to elaborate on Jackson's condition. Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad al-Khalifa, the second son of the king of Bahrain, says Jackson reneged on a contract to record a new album and write an autobiography, and owed him $7 million. Jackson wants to give evidence via video link from the west coast of the United States. Sweeney said he planned to rule on whether Jackson would be allowed to do so or not on Thursday morning to give medical experts from both sides time to talk. If he rules in favor of a video link, Jackson is expected to begin testifying on Monday or Tuesday. Bankim Thanki, representing al-Khalifa, said the medical evidence produced was "pretty unsubstantial" and that Jackson's illness, even if positively proven, would be easy to cope with. "At the end of the day it all depends on the result of the pathology report," said Thanki, adding that the result should have been made available by now. He added: "It's not the first time a sick note has been presented by Mr. Jackson ... My client isn't being hard-hearted or difficult, he is being rightly skeptical." STRONG SENSE OF BETRAYAL According to the Press Association, Thanki earlier told the court how his client had "felt a strong sense of personal betrayal because this (Jackson) was someone he considered a close personal friend." He said Jackson had signed a contract for recording albums, writing an autobiography and staging shows in which it was agreed that $7 million would be deducted from Jackson's royalties to pay for expenses. These included a bill for over $300,000 for motivational guru Tony Buzan who was flown to Bahrain to work with Jackson. The star left Bahrain in May 2006 to go to Europe and Japan. Continued...
