- On Monday, Deputy High Court judge Sarah Clarke KC dismissed Mitch Winehouse's claim against his late daughter Amy Winehouse's friends Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay over items sold at United States auctions in 2021 and 2023.

- Following the ruling, Parry stated the High Court had cleared her name unequivocally and in full after years of deeply damaging allegations, emphasizing the claim has failed entirely and should never have been brought.
- Judge Clarke characterized Mitch Winehouse as an "unreliable witness" who pursued the claim without checking until shortly before trial whether he had a valid case, noting he "likes to dominate people and situations.
