Amy Winehouse's father, Mitch Winehouse, has been ordered to pay nearly £950,000 ($1.26M) in legal costs to two of the singer's friends following his defeat in a High Court case over the sale of her personal belongings.
The ruling is the latest twist in a lengthy legal battle involving dozens of items that once belonged to the Grammy-winning artist. The judge concluded Mitch Winehouse had known about the planned auctions from the outset, despite later denying it.
