Legal Question in Entertainment Law in Georgia

Executive-Artistic Director & Producer Control

I am the Executive-Artistic Director and Producer of an amateur senior citizens theatre group. I started the group, produced the plays, wrote the mission statement,the bylaws, named the group, do all the PR and appointed officers. I am having the group set up where I will be in control and no one will be signing the legal papers but myself. A member who has been acting as treasurer, will not pay the woman who has contracted with the group to do our group T-Shirts. He is saying that he has control and he does not want any T-Shirts now. I authorized him to pay the women the $100.00 that is due her and he will not do it. Please tell me what I can do to get our money out of his hands. He has not signed any papers, no legal or contract. He is now a problem and I would like to press chages against him for Theft by Taking! Help me, please.

Re: Executive-Artistic Director & Producer Control

You provide details about how you want the group to operate, but virtually nothing about how the entity IS set up. You also provide nothing about the t-shirt contract (if there is one). Therefore, your questions can't be answered. However, even if there is a breach of a contract, the mere breach is not a crime. Filing a false police report, or threatening to do so in order to resolve a civil matter, is a good way to get in a lot of trouble.
