Mitch Winehouse ordered to pay nearly £1m to Amy's friends in belongings case

A UK High Court has ordered Mitch Winehouse to pay almost £1 million to Amy Winehouse's former stylist Naomi Parry and friend Catriona Gourlay, plus their legal costs, after dismissing his claim that the pair profited from selling Amy's belongings at auctions in 2021 and 2023. The judge said his allegations were unfounded, pursued aggressively, and harmed the women's reputations; 155 items including clothes, handbags, memorabilia and jewelry were at issue. The ruling follows the April dismissal of the claim and comes ahead of the singer's 15th death anniversary.

Kenya Court Rejects Rastafari’s Narrow Cannabis Exemption Bid

Kenya’s High Court has dismissed the Rastafari Society of Kenya’s bid to legalise cannabis for religious worship, upholding the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act and finding no solid evidence that cannabis is an essential element of Rastafari faith. The judge said any exemption would require a sound constitutional basis and called for frank, national discussion on cannabis; the group plans to appeal the ruling as penalties for possession, cultivation, etc., remain under the current law.

UK High Court Finds Most Claimed Diesel Defeat Devices Do Not Qualify

A UK High Court ruling found that most claimed 'defeat devices' in diesel cars from Mercedes-Benz, Renault, Nissan, Ford and Peugeot-Citroën do not constitute prohibited defeat devices; only two isolated strategies were deemed illicit (a Mercedes software before 2015 and some Peugeot-Citroën calibrations). The decision narrows the allegations, while the 1.6 million motorists' wider case continues with further trials, including an October damages hearing; Mercedes said it may appeal on one vehicle.

Harry loses High Court battle with Daily Mail publisher, costs soar past £50m

Prince Harry and six other claimants lost their High Court case against Associated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail, with Mr Justice Nicklin dismissing all 97 claims; the ruling said privacy alone does not prove unlawful information gathering and that plaintiffs must show a specific unlawful sourcing route. The publisher said the costs totalled well over £50m and will seek recovery from the claimants, with further costs hearings expected around July 29. Harry later spoke at an Invictus Games event and did not address the judgment.

Palace received Prince Andrew's envoy emails in 2020, court records reveal

Buckingham Palace was handed a 30,000‑email archive in 2020—taken from a personal business contact of Prince Andrew—that includes details about his finances and alleged sharing of confidential government briefings from his years as trade envoy; court documents show copies were delivered to the Lord Chamberlain before reaching the Palace, with the emails dating up to 2013, a disclosure that has resurfaced as Andrew faces a police investigation and has sparked calls for greater royal oversight.

UK Appeals Palestine Action Ban as Court Battle Persists

Britain is appealing a High Court ruling that the government's ban on the activist group Palestine Action was illegal, triggering a Court of Appeal hearing in London. The case follows judges calling the proscription “disproportionate,” and the ban remains in place during the appeal. Activists and rights groups argue the measure suppresses dissent and human rights, while the government defends counterterrorism measures and notes lawful ways to support the Palestinian cause. The outcome of the appeal remains unclear.

Landmark High Court bid blames poultry farming and sewage for River Wye pollution

More than 4,500 residents near the River Wye and its catchment in Wales and England have launched what is described as the UK’s largest environmental pollution claim against Avara Foods and Welsh Water, alleging that spreading chicken manure and sewage spills have caused nutrient pollution and algal blooms that degrade river health and affect livelihoods. The case, brought by Leigh Day, marks a landmark in UK environmental litigation with a High Court hearing in London, while the defendants deny the allegations; Natural England has previously rated the Wye as unfavourable–declining, linking the issues to farming, wastewater and climate factors.

Designer Katie Perry Triumphs in 16-Year Trademark Clash with Katy Perry

Australian designer Katie Perry (Katie Taylor) wins a 16-year trademark battle against pop star Katy Perry: the High Court’s 3-2 ruling finds the singer’s fame wouldn’t mislead consumers into linking Katie Perry’s clothing with her brand, upholding Katie Perry’s trademark while noting that Katy Perry’s label had been assiduous infringers by selling clothing in Australia; the case will return to the Full Federal Court for remaining issues.

Katie Perry nets High Court win in Australia over Katy Perry trademark

Australia’s High Court ruled in favor of designer Katie Perry, finding her Katie Perry clothing trademark is not likely to be confused with Katy Perry’s brand and preserving the mark on the register after years of litigation that began with a 2014 tour merchandise dispute; the decision follows a 2023 victory later overturned on appeal, with some issues referred back to full federal court.
