"I find that neither Ms Parry nor Ms Gourlay deliberately concealed any of their disputed items from the claimant, and even if I am wrong about that, Mr Winehouse could have discovered what disputed items the defendants had with reasonable diligence."
"Mitch Winehouse had offered her $250,000 for the proceeds of her sale and to make the legal claim go away, but that she would rather set the money on fire than give him a penny."
"Mr Winehouse is clearly a strong character but also someone who has suffered a great tragedy in the loss of his daughter."
Mitch Winehouse, as administrator of Amy Winehouse's estate, sued friends Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay for profiting from auctioned items. The court ruled that the women did not conceal sales and that Mitch could have discovered the items with reasonable diligence. Parry's items included a dress sold for $243,200. Mitch believed auction proceeds would benefit him, Amy's mother, and the Amy Winehouse Foundation. The judge acknowledged Mitch's strong character and the tragedy of losing his daughter while noting his efforts to preserve her memory.
