(California Court of Appeal) - In a suit brought by the adult children and heirs of songwriter Terry Gilkyson against Disney Enterprises and its music publishing subsidiary Wonderland Music alleging Disney had breached its contractual obligation to pay royalties in connection with the licensing or other disposition of the mechanical reproduction rights to Gilkyson's songs,which appeared in the Jungle Book film, the trial court's dismissal of the suit on statute of limitations grounds is reversed where the court erred in failing to apply the doctrine of continual accrual, and under which a portion of the Gilkyson heirs' contract claim is timely.
