In a spat between partners who have shared a lot of success, NBC Universal has filed suit against Dick Wolf, the prolific producer of the networkâs three âLaw & Orderâ series. The suit, filed last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, centers on complex terms in Mr. Wolfâs contract. NBC argues that Mr. Wolf, right, is misinterpreting them to demand millions of dollars in executive-producer fees for two years after his shows leave the air. NBCâs interpretation is that if the network produces a sufficient number of episodes it can fulfill the contract and not owe Mr. Wolf for work he is no longer doing. Mr. Wolfâs side contends that the contract guarantees the money as a kind of termination payment, or âkill fee.â No matter when NBC decides to end his series, Mr. Wolf argues, he is to be paid for 48 more episodes. NBC asks that if the court finds the contract language ambiguous, it direct that the errors be fixed rather than force NBC to pay the money. A representative of Mr. Wolf, who like other Hollywood writers is on strike, said he was traveling on Tuesday and could not be reached. But Mr. Wolf issued a statement last week saying: âNBC Universal is trying to rewrite an existing contract. Apparently, our partner is willing to commission rewrites during the strike.â.
