A Day To Remember and Victory Records have primarily been meeting in court to rule over whether or not the band had fulfilled their recording contract with the label. While that decision is still ongoing, interesting information has come to light today, and PropertyOfZack has received new documents on the court case from Victory’s Tony Brummel himself.

The new piece of information surrounds John Janick, founder of Fueled By Ramen, currently president of Interscope Records, who, in A Day To Remember’s mind, was operating as a hidden manager from the the years 2009-2012 under Fueled By Ramen. This information was not made aware to Victory and the courts until this past summer. Today the courts decided that Janick was not acting as a manager, and will now go under a deposition in early-December. It has also come to light that A Day To Remember paid Janick and Fueled By Ramen Records the sum of $450,000, which has raised major questions. You can read a breakdown of the memorandum opinion and the motion itself below after the jump.

-The court agreed with Victory that he is not a manager, just a consultant and therefore the band has to turn over the emails from the years 2009-2012

-The band asserted that they paid Janick/FBR $450,000, regardless, which raises the question of whether or not he and the label were trying to poach A Day To Remember.
