Judge rejects Mitch Winehouse’s claim over Amy Winehouse memorabilia sales
In a High Court ruling, Mitch Winehouse’s claim against Amy Winehouse’s stylist Naomi Parry and friend Catriona Gourlay over sales of the singer’s belongings from US auctions in 2021 and 2023 was dismissed. The judge found no deliberate concealment of disputed items and noted Winehouse could have discovered what was sold with reasonable diligence. The auctions raised about $1.4m for the estate, with 30% going to the Amy Winehouse Foundation; items included Parry’s silk dress from Amy’s Belgrade performance. Parry argued the items were gifts or her property, while Mitch had sought proceeds for the estate/foundation. Parry welcomed the verdict, while Mitch’s team had portrayed the action as jealousy-driven.”,
