Malmstedt takes Gessle to court again - this time in the UK
Written by Lissie on October 14, 2002 to Per Gessle.
LONDON - Per Gessle is once again accused of stealing ”Sleeping in My Car”. Stephan Malmstedt wrote the song ”Jenny and I” and sent the demo to EMI. When he heard ”Sleeping in My Car” on the radio, he believed that Gessle had stolen his song.
Malmstedt has already taken the matter to court in Sweden twice. STIM thought there were some similarities but that it wasn’t enough so the complaint was rejected.
Now Malmstedt has moved to England and he will take the case to the High Court of Justice. “If I didn’t think I had a chance at winning, I wouldn’t bother,” he said.
Gessle says through his manager Marie Dimberg that he’s not worried.
“There’s really nothing more to say. The song has already been checked twice and both times it was rejected. I assume that the same thing will happen this time,” Dimberg said.

*yawn,* I don’t know about the demo version, but the final CD version doesn’t have anything similar (except a few notes in the beginning of the song...)...so Malmstedt doesn’t convience me...nor has he conveinced the courts

And judge by yourselves...
I think the similarities are the same as between Rock my life of Jeanette and The Look, it’s not big thing.

Malmstedt is obviously obesessed, but he’s also obviously absolutely positive he’s right...
Anyways, this being in England, does anyone know what happens when Malmstedt loses? Does he have to pay Per’s and EMI’s court and lawyer costs?
