The original was a classic. Terra Firma's £2.5 billion lawsuit against Citigroup in New York over the buyout firm's disastrous investment in music company EMI – home of artists from The Beatles to The Beastie Boys – was one of the largest lawsuits the industry has seen.

Terra Firma lost that suit, but then won the right to a new hearing. Get ready for the remix. Starting on June 7, many of the same arguments - and some new ones - will be heard in a court in London.
