Amy Winehouse's father has been ordered to pay just under £1m to two of his daughter's friends after a failed High Court claim over the auctioning of the late singer's items. Mitch Winehouse's own legal costs also amounted to at least £950,000 in the failed bid against Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay. As of April, Ms Parry's costs were estimated to be £715,361, while Ms Gourlay's were £487,132, Judge Clarke said. Mr Winehouse must pay interim payments to both women - £569,330 to Ms Parry and £394,521 to Ms Gourlay - within the next two weeks.
