Lloyd's of 런던 has gone to court ... asking a judge to let the company off the financial hook, claiming it doesn't owe the Michael Jackson Estate $17.5 million on grounds MJ was a fraud.
The company issued the muilti-million dollar policy to cover the doomed "This Is It" tour for losses.
But Lloyd's claims it doesn't have to honor the policy for 2 primary reasons:
1. Michael Jackson and AEG allegedly lied about Michael's medical history -- specifically, MJ said he had not seen a doctor other than a cosmetic MD since June, 2005.
2. Michael did not disclose he was taking prescription drugs prior to and at the time of his death -- including Propofol.
Lloyd's is asking the court for a declaration that the policy is null and void as a result of the alleged fraud.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "This legal action is nothing 더 많이 than an insurance company trying to avoid paying a legitimate claim 의해 the insured."

So we had our school retreat today, & there was a band right? They started playing will 당신 be there, & my 프렌즈 were all nudging me going "it's MJ!" The thing is, I didn't know it was MJ when they first started playing. I had never heard will 당신 be there before, yet all my 프렌즈 knew it. Isn't that kinda sad? My friend Emily was like "Keri, it's MJ get up & sing!" but I was like "I don't know the words." I learned it pretty fast though; they only played the first 2 lines over & over instead of the whole song, so I didn't feel like a total idiot!! So it was kinda embarrassing for me because my 프렌즈 all know me as the big MJ fanatic, yet I didn't recognize the song. But it really made my day!
