"Henry Legge KC, for Winehouse, said in written submissions that the items included a silk mini-dress worn by the singer in her final performance in Belgrade, Serbia, which Ms Parry auctioned for 243,200 US dollars (182,656) in 2021. He said: Ms Parry and Ms Gourlay deliberately concealed from Mr Winehouse the fact that they were auctioning the items consigned by them to the 2021 auction and that they were claiming ownership of those items."
"He continued that Mr Winehouse believed that all the 834 items in the 2021 auction catalogue were owned by the estate, but that the two women were asserting ownership of over 150. The barrister also said that Ms Parry was instrumental in persuading Mr Winehouse to auction the estate's items, but did not tell him that she stood to gain from his agreeing to do so."
Two friends of Amy Winehouse consigned and sold dozens of her personal items at a 2021 auction and did not inform her father, Mitch Winehouse. The 2021 auction catalogue contained 834 items, and the two women asserted ownership of over 150 of those items. Items sold included a silk mini-dress worn in her final Belgrade performance, which fetched $243,200. The auction raised about $1.4 million. The two women deny wrongdoing, asserting that many items were gifted to them or already owned. Contacts with Julien's Auctions began in 2014, with offers to sell in 2018 and 2019.
