A UK judge orders Amy Winehouse’s father to pay nearly £1 million to two of the late singer’s friends following a failed High Court claim tied to the auctioning of her property. According to reports, the friends were accused by her father in connection with the handling or sale of items associated with Winehouse. The court ruling states that Winehouse was known for her “extraordinary generosity” toward friends, including people she barely knew, which the judge cited when considering the matter.
The decision requires the father to cover the legal costs incurred by the two friends. Multiple outlets describe the outcome as the father being ordered to pay just under £1 million (reported in Canadian dollars by one outlet as $1 million). The ruling is described as an outcome of the High Court proceedings after the claim did not succeed, leaving the friends to seek payment of their court-related expenses.
