Amy Winehouse’s father, Mitch, has lost a High Court claim against two of his daughter’s friends, Naomi Parry and Catriona Gourlay, over the sale of items once owned by the singer. Mitch, acting as the administrator of his daughter’s estate, claimed that Parry and Gourlay had profited from selling dozens of Amy’s items at auctions in the US in 2021 and 2023 without informing him. The items in question were either gifted to Parry and Gourlay by Amy or already owned by them.
In a judgment handed down on Monday, Deputy High Court judge Sarah Clarke KC ruled in favor of Parry and Gourlay, stating that they did not deliberately conceal any items from Mitch. Parry has since released a statement, saying that the High Court has cleared her name ‘unequivocally and in full’ after years of damaging allegations. The decision has been celebrated by fans and friends, including the Camden pub the Hawley Arms, and comes after Amy’s legacy was recently nodded to at the 2026 BRIT Awards, where producer Mark Ronson reflected on meeting Winehouse and working on her iconic album ‘Back To Black’.
