Rihanna today won a permanent ban on Topshop selling T-shirts using her image – and an order that Sir Philip Green’s high street fashion chain must pay her estimated legal costs of almost £1million.
Topshop owners Arcadia Group were ordered by Mr Justice Birss at the High Court to pay £200,000 of this within 14 days, even though he found the size of her bill ‘startling’ and ‘somewhat surprising’.
The Chancery Division judge ruled in July that fans of the 25-year-old singer from Barbados, who was not in court, might have been deceived into thinking that she had endorsed the T-shirt.
