On March 12, 1970, the High Courts of London ruled in favor of Paul McCartney in the legal battle to dissolve The Beatles’ partnership. His former bandmates, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, were not happy with this turn of events. The day they heard the verdict, the three former Beatles drove to McCartney’s house where Lennon allegedly put two bricks through his windows.

The Beatles went to court after they broke up

One of the driving forces behind The Beatles’ breakup was the rift that occurred when they tried to pick a new manager. McCartney wanted his father-in-law, Lee Eastman, but the rest of the band won out and appointed Allen Klein. In order to take control of The Beatles’ catalog, McCartney had to sue the band.
