Overview
- The High Court in London, which ruled Monday, threw out Mitch Winehouse’s lawsuit against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay over the sale of Amy Winehouse’s belongings.
- Judge Sarah Clarke KC found no deliberate hiding of items and said Mitch Winehouse could have identified what the women held with reasonable care.
- The case centered on pieces sold in U.S. auctions in 2021 and 2023, including a silk mini dress from Winehouse’s final Belgrade show, with court figures citing sales around $1.4 million.
- Parry and Gourlay said many items were gifts or already theirs before 2011, and filings noted Parry worked as Winehouse’s stylist and lived at her Camden home.
- Court records describe Mitch Winehouse as a forceful presence who shifted a planned 2021 sale from full charity proceeds to a 70–30 split, and Parry said the verdict cleared her name after years of accusations.
