More on courts ordering people to pay legal fees, though this time the person doing the paying is covering their own costs, not someone else's. If that makes sense. The person is Michael Jackson, who has been ordered to pay $256,000 to a law firm that represented him in some periphery matters relating to the singer's high profile child abuse court case back in 2005. Jacko had counter-sued after Ayscough & Marar launched legal proceedings for the fees it said it was owed, but the counter-suit was thrown out of court. Jacko's current attorney, Marshall Brubacher, has reportedly said that his client now intends to pay the disputed sum rather than continuing to fight the claim against him because any further legal wrangling would be costly, and the Jackson legal camp are to "stop the haemorrhaging" of money.
