Lloyd's of London has gone to court ... asking a judge to let the company off the financial hook, claiming it doesn't owe the Michael Jackson Estate $17.5 million on grounds MJ was a fraud.
The company issued the muilti-million dollar policy to cover the doomed "This Is It" tour for losses.
But Lloyd's claims it doesn't have to honor the policy for 2 primary reasons:
1. Michael Jackson and AEG allegedly lied about Michael's medical history -- specifically, MJ alisema he had not seen a doctor other than a cosmetic MD since June, 2005.
2. Michael did not disclose he was taking prescription drugs prior to and at the time of his death -- including Propofol.
Lloyd's is asking the court for a declaration that the policy is null and void as a result of the alleged fraud.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "This legal action is nothing zaidi than an insurance company trying to avoid paying a legitimate claim kwa the insured."

Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If wewe smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If wewe just...
Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time wewe must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If wewe just...
Smile, though your moyo is aching
Smile, even though it's breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
You'll get by...
If wewe smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If wewe just smile...
That's the time wewe must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying
You'll find that life is still worthwhile
If wewe just smile
So we had our school retreat today, & there was a band right? They started playing will wewe be there, & my Marafiki were all nudging me going "it's MJ!" The thing is, I didn't know it was MJ when they first started playing. I had never heard will wewe be there before, yet all my Marafiki knew it. Isn't that kinda sad? My friend Emily was like "Keri, it's MJ get up & sing!" but I was like "I don't know the words." I learned it pretty fast though; they only played the first 2 lines over & over instead of the whole song, so I didn't feel like a total idiot!! So it was kinda embarrassing for me because my Marafiki all know me as the big MJ fanatic, yet I didn't recognize the song. But it really made my day!
YES!!! I upendo THRILLER but come on thriller thriller thriller lets have a dif fav era for once hehe. ok so i do upendo the thriller era yes probably ALLOT but my fav's are invincible and history why cause he had a more....mellinium and upbeat like a sorta futureristic pop muziki sound that just hung on me like all his albums not 1 mj song i hate.

"Moonwalker" -- a collection of short films made kwa MJ in 1988 -- was never released theatrically in the United States ... but one L.A. movie theater is finally trying to make it happen ... for one night only.
TMZ has learned Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood is on the hunt for a film print of the 1988 cult classic ... after MJ mashabiki flooded the A.C. Facebook page with the challenging request.
According to reports, "Moonwalker" was never theatrically released in America because of failed negotiations with U.S. movie distributors back in the siku ... however the flick was eventually released in The States on VHS.
FYI -- "Moonwalker" featured a super-iconic 25-minute featurette for "Smooth Criminal" ... which included an awesome cameo kwa Joe Pesci.
Arclight claims they're actively searching for the print -- we'll let wewe know if the tafuta succeeds.

The good people of Canada never had a chance to view the Michael Jackson documentary, "Gone Too Soon" -- and now the owners of the flick are declaring war on the distributor ... claiming he personally screwed the entire country.
TMZ obtained a lawsuit filed kwa Objective Films, LLC -- in which they claim they agreed to sell the French and Canadian distribution rights to a company headed kwa a guy named Pierre Turgeon for $100k back in 2009.
Objective says they got the first $50k -- but Turgeon flaked on the back half ... and then tried to back out of the deal altogether. Objective was able to get the flick distributed in France ... Canada wasn't so lucky.

t appears Katherine Jackson is going to do what Oksana Grigorieva couldn't ... appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Production trucks have arrived at the Jackson family compound in Encino along with two black SUVs. Members of the production crew told TMZ they are there for "an Oprah shoot."
A security guard told TMZ Oprah will not be inaonyesha up ... so this could be filming for an introductory segment of the show.
No word on what the interview might be about ... but we're guessing the words Michael and Jackson will be used often.
UPDATE 5:10 PM PT -- No one has left yet, but there has been a visitor ... the Domino's pizza delivery guy!
UPDATE 6:23 PM PT -- The production trucks are getting a parking ticket. Put it on Oprah's tab.
UPDATE 6:39 PM PT -- The two SUVs have taken off and the production crew has begun to load equipment. Looks like it's a wrap.
