Legal Dispute Involving Merle Wood and Océanco
A legal dispute connected to the yacht Seven Seas emerged between yacht broker Merle Wood & Associés et Océanco. The dispute concerned an alleged oral commission agreement that Merle Wood claimed had been made during the 2015 Monaco Yacht Show.
According to court documents, Merle Wood & Associates claimed it was entitled to a commission related to the sale of the new Seven Seas. Océanco denied that such an agreement existed.
The District Court of Rotterdam ruled that Merle Wood & Associates could request a preliminary witness hearing to gather evidence and clarify its position. This did not mean the broker’s claim had been proven; it only allowed evidence gathering to proceed.
Important note: Steven Spielberg was not a party to this legal conflict. The dispute was between Merle Wood & Associates and Océanco.
