00:00A London court has ruled that British band The 1975 cannot be held liable for the shutdown

00:07of the Good Vibes Festival two years ago.

00:10Last July, the organiser of the music festival filed the suit against The 1975 and its individual

00:16members after Matty Healy kissed a male bandmate during their performance, leading to the festival

00:22being shut down.

00:24Future Sound Asia had sought 11.25 million ringgit in damages, claiming that The 1975

00:30production's LLP breached its contract and that all four band members owed a duty of

00:36care.

00:37However, Judge William Hansen ruled yesterday that there was no real prospect of proving

00:42that band members owed a duty of care to FSA.

00:46According to a written judgement, he said it would be unfair to impose liability on

00:50the band members as they were not alleged to have known the details of PUSPAL guidelines

00:55or Malaysian laws and performance regulations.

00:58PUSPAL refers to the Central Agency for Application for Filming and Performance by Foreign Artistes,

01:04which oversees approval for international acts performing in Malaysia.
