Topshop ordered to pay Rihanna’s £1m legal bill after it sold T-shirts using image of popstar
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.
Controversial: Topshop had sold the garment – which bore an image of her taken from a photograph – between March and August 2012
