The panel from California's 2nd District Court of Appeal found that the lawsuits of Wade Robson and James Safechuck should not have been dismissed by a lower court years ago and has said they can both validly claim that the two Jackson-owned corporations that were named as defendants in the cases had a responsibility to protect them.

In 2019 the two men became more widely known after they told their stories on the HBO documentary titled Leaving Neverland. The suits were first dismissed in 2017, where Superior Court Judge Mark A. Young ruled they were filed passed the statute of limitations. The lawsuits faced another road bump as in 2021, Young threw the cases out, saying the two corporations the men were suing had no legal reason to protect Robson and Safechuck. Jonathan Steinsapir, the attorney for the Jackson estate, said they were "disappointed" at the news. "Two distinguished trial judges repeatedly dismissed these cases on numerous occasions over the last decade because the law required it," Steinsapir told The Associated Press. "We remain fully confident that Michael is innocent of these allegations, which are contrary to all credible evidence and independent corroboration, and which were only first made years after Michael's death by men motivated solely by money."
