The link below details part of the case but the result is not included.

There are some intriguing bits of info in that document. Bob Welch did not sign a publishing agreement with Davis until the end of 1972, whereas Christine signed hers at the beginning of 1971. Was Welch strongarmed into it?

Also, this:

“…In the case of Mrs. Mcvie, she promised to deliver to the publisher at least one complete musical composition a month.”

“10
(3) The publisher was not bound to publish any of the works. At any rate, he did. not give any positive undertaking to do so. All he did was to promise Mrs. Mcvie that he would use his best endeavours to launch her works to the fullest extent. There was no such promise to Mr. Welch; but it may perhaps be implied.”

Did Christine write one song a month and submit it to Davis? If so, why never more than 4 songs (and often less) on those albums ?
