Vanessa Hudgens’ Lawsuit Approved By Judge

Bad news for Vanessa Hudgens… Yesterday a judge ruled that her former attorney will be allowed to move forward with his $150,000 lawsuit against her.

Brian Schall, the High School Musical actress’ former attorney, filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against her this past September. Back in 2005, he alleges, Hudgens agreed to pay him five percent of her earnings as payment for his services.

And where it gets dismal for Nessa is that she’s earned over $5 million due to Schall’s assistance. Although, the singer/actress’ current attorney claims that California law provides that a contract with a minor can be voided before the person turns 18, or “within a reasonable time afterward.”

Since she turns 19 in less than two weeks, the jury will have to decide what the statute of limitations is on the “reasonable time afterward.” Reportedly she disavowed the contract back in October.

Vanessa’s next hearing is January 15th, and we’ll keep you updated on the developments of this case.
