    Simon & Schuster, Inc. is suing Inga Marchand, also known as "Foxy Brown," for $75,000. Simon & Schuster had advanced Marchand $75,000 as an advance against royalties for her planned book "Broken Silence" under a publishing agreement, but she failed to deliver the complete manuscript by the deadline. When Simon & Schuster terminated the agreement due to the missed deadline, the agreement stated that Marchand was required to repay the $75,000 advance. Marchand has refused to repay the money despite demands, breaching the agreement and unjustly enriching herself. Simon & Schuster is suing for the $75,000 plus interest and costs.

    acceptable manuscript for a literary work tentatively entitled BROKEN SILENCE (the “Literary
    Work”), on or before February 1,2006

    royalties to be earned from the exploitation of the Literary Work in the amount of $75,000.00.
    4. The Publishing Agreement made specific provision for the rights of the parties in the
    event Marchand should not deliver the complete and acceptable manuscript by the date it was
    due, as follows:

    “8. (a) If Author shall fail to deliver the complete manuscript within 30 days after
    the date herein provided, then Publisher may at any time thereafter terminate this
    Agreement, and upon such termination all sums paid to Author shall be repayable
    to Publisher. Upon full repayment Author’s obligations hereunder shall
    terminate.”

    5. S&S exercised its option to terminate the Agreement and made due demand upon
    www.courthousenews.com

    Marchand for the repayment of $75,000.00 by letter of July 20, 2006, Marchand thereupon
    became liable to Publisher for the repayment of the $75,000.00 that had been advanced for her
    account.
    6. Despite demand therefor, Marchand has failed and refused to repay to S&S the
    $75,000.00 so advanced to her account.

    SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION
    10. The allegations of Paragraphs 1-9 are repeated as if fully set forth.
    11. Marchand has been unjustly enriched by the retention of $75,000.00 paid to her account
    by S&S.
    12. By reason of the foregoing, Marchand owes S&S $75,000.00.
    WHEREFORE, plaintiff Simon & Schuster, Inc. demands judgment against defendant INGA
