A management company has filed a lawsuit against Courtney Love over claims she failed to pay commission for the partial share of Nirvana's back catalogue.

London & Co claim Love, the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, owes them 5% of the revenues received when she sold a portion of the song library last year.

It's understood that Love, who is said to have earned $19.5million from the sale, had hired London & Co to provide business management services in the deal, reports Reuters.

The lawsuit, filed at Los Angeles Superior Court yesterday (July 22nd), seeks $975,000 in damages and costs rising filing the lawsuit.

Love's attorney, Howard Weitzman, said he was aware of the “issue” but added that he hadn't seen the suit.
