Katy Perry has secured a decisive victory in one of Hollywood's most unusual and emotionally charged property disputes after a judge ruled that disabled US veteran Carl Westcott must pay the pop star nearly £1.4 million ($1.84 million) in damages.
The judgment brings a dramatic close to a feud that has simmered for more than five years and left an £11 million ($13.9 million) Montecito mansion trapped in legal limbo.
