Should Morrissey have paid Joyce the million?

[Silent Reader]

An earlier comment on here about Morrissey being a tax dodger (just like Lewis Hamilton, but it's 'racist' to say that isn't it) brought back to mind the million he has evaded paying Joyce.

Having read his autobiography, I believe Morrissey's account of the case, it was only his attitude that lost him it, along with Joyce playing the thick idiot routine.

Marr was a pussy & coughed up, but I think Mozzer did the right thing not paying. Joyce didn't & doesn't deserve the money.

Thoughts?

I don’t think he did as it was 50/50 between him and Marr, although it ended up costing Morrissey a lot more than 50% as he was late with the 2nd payment.

Thinking the whole charade was unfair, but whoever told Morrissey he could win had dollar signs in their eyes. Isn't that the lawyers OM? I think Joyce was more desperate than bad. I think the Manchester Rudy was sly and cunning. and the Judas of the band. Drop him from the reunion concert Morrissey. LOL

I think he did what made him feel better and that’s hard to put a price on

I agree. Money matters less the nearer we reach finality. MMO. Morrissey moves on , by the grace of God.

Look at it? We’d only be voyeurs. The damage was done. He didn’t know lawyers like I do. Everyone learns. Morrissey was never going to win. Though ultimately he did. Love you Moz

Maybe in the archives, but i never saw one when i went to type it. And anyway, it was 23 years ago, i doubt many people on here now have taken part in those threads.

I notice @Radis Noir marked your post informative, but he won't take part. As per. LOL!

And apart from breaking news, there isn't really anything else to talk about re Morrissey is there. It's all in the past.

Artists are a million miles from lawyers.

I don't think he ever made any payment did he? That's how i understand it.

Well - there are two ways about your original question.
Legally he should have and must pay what the judge decided. It's the law, there is no way out.
Morally you can analyse this to death which we already did - see again: search function.

I think he did, one for circa 250k and another for over 600k as he didn’t make the 2nd payment on time. Would need to check though.

Doesn't Johnny Marr have a younger brother called Ian Maher? Wasn't Johnny's brother an actor?

Was Ian C from Scotland? Maybe C is short for Cunningham.

I didn’t know much about Morrissey until I read about the case. Reminded me of Oscar Wilde’s Mother telling Oscar to fight the Judiciary in London. Nice but naive. It was over before it began. Makes for interesting reflection in history. Love you Moz x

Well if he did, I did not know that.

No, I'd rather go over it all again if it's all the same to you.
