WILL LAWSUIT AGAINST BRANDY HOLD UP IN COURT?: Several problems have been discovered with the filing.

(February 6, 2007)

*After a bit of research, TMZ.com believes the $50 million civil lawsuit filed against Brandy for allegedly triggering a car crash has some issues that may lead to the case being tossed altogether.

The Web site reported Monday: “Awatef Aboudihaj was killed Dec. 30 after Brandy's vehicle rear-ended her on a Los Angeles freeway. Aboudihaj was married with two children. Under California law, only the husband, not the parents, can sue for wrongful death. …Aboudihaj's parents could file suit if they were financially dependent on her, but we're told that was not the case.”

TMZ also claims that Aboudihaj's parents, who live in Morocco full-time, filed the lawsuit without consulting her husband beforehand.

Meanwhile, Aboudihaj's husband is being represented by Los Angeles attorney Bill Sayed, the Web site reports. Sayed tells TMZ he is currently investigating Brandy's net worth and says the matter “will be resolved by settlement or jury verdict.”

Sayed did not disclose the amount of money to be demanded, but said it will probably be a combination of Brandy's insurance policy limit – as well as additional money out of Brandy’s own pocket, TMZ reports.
