An Orange County jury ruled Saturday that Williams, 34, breached his contract with B & K Productions of Kissimee by not appearing at an April 10, 1982 concert at the Central Flor ida Fairgrounds. The jury awarded the prom oters $98,606 in damages. Court records show the company lost more than $100,000 because of Williams’ cancellation. Williams lost a countersuit charging he was entitled to $13,000 under an agreement with promoters that guaranteed him the full amount in case of “inclement weather.” But the jury said he could keep $11,500 advanced to him. The ruling marked the second time in three months that Williams was found guilty of breaking a performance con tract. In October, a district court jury in Sherman awarded $160,000 to a club owner who charged Williams went on state too drunk to sing. “We felt we were going to win ^ * all along,” said J. Michael Malone, an attorney for B & K Productions. The promoters said they were left with thousands of angry fans and 200 cases of hot dogs after the can cellation. Williams and his attorneys could be reached for comment after the ruling. During the four-day trial, Williams had testified he was told the concert was canceled be cause of bad weather and that the wet stage would be too dan gerous for electronic equip ment. But Williams’ attorneys failed to produce a witness who could convince the jury the stage was unsafe. In addition, the promoters maintained it had rained three days before the concert but not on the day of the concert. The entertainer was staying with relatives in Alabama the morning of the concert. He testi fied he had planned to fly to Orlando in his private plane for the 6 p.m. concert, but stayed in Alabama when his managers in formed him of the cancellation. Williams testified he “abso lutely” did not purposely refuse to appear at the concert, noting his 8-year-old son, Sheldon, was excited about the Orlando trip because Williams had promised to take him to Walt Disney World.
