This is a credits dispute, but it is also a contract and consumer-law lesson for creative businesses. The fight was about how a documentary identified its director across the film itself, IMDb, festival pages, posters and promotional material. Those credit choices affected moral rights, contract obligations and misleading conduct issues.
The Court's orders were detailed because attribution can be detailed. It was not enough to say that the applicant was somewhere in the credits. The orders dealt with the words to be used, where the credit appeared, whether the card was a single-person card, font size, screen time, promotional credit blocks and the difference between calling someone a director and representing them as a principal director.
For small production companies, agencies and creators, the practical lesson is to treat credit language like legal copy. If a contract says how attribution works, build that into the production bible, festival submissions, social assets, posters and metadata. A late credit change can become a legal problem, not just a relationship problem.
