Judge orders Amy Winehouse’s father to pay nearly £1m to her friends

Mitch Winehouse ‘knowingly and deliberately’ made unfounded allegations against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, judge says

The father of British music sensation Amy Winehouse has been ordered to pay £950,000 (US$1.26m, A$1.82m) to his late daughter’s friends, who he unsuccessfully sued for auctioning the singer’s clothes and other items.

Mitch Winehouse earlier this year lost a case in the high court in London against two of Winehouse’s friends who auctioned dozens of her clothes and other possessions years after her death.
