British stunt performers Theo Morton and Douglas Robson file a claim in the High Court against a film company, alleging the company used an “unauthorised” 18-second video clip featuring them during Sir Elton John’s farewell tour. The performers say the footage shows the singer in action, including scenes of him beating “baddies,” and that it was used without permission. They seek damages of £200,000, arguing their work and likeness were exploited commercially without authorization. The lawsuit focuses on the specific duration of the footage and the inclusion of the performers’ stunt work in the material presented as part of the tour. The company’s position is not described in the available reporting. The case is framed as a legal dispute over authorization and compensation related to the use of the clip, with the performers pursuing financial remedy through the court.
