Lopez wins damages from ex-husband

Jennifer Lopez has won £267,257 in damages from her first husband Ojani Noa after an arbitrator ruled he breached an agreement not to disparage her.

Jennifer Lopez last week won £267, 257 in that previously reported legal case against her first husband, Ojani Noa, who was planning to publish a book detailing their time together.

Reports suggested that Noa's tell all book would have included allegations that Lopez had several affairs during their marriage, including one with her current husband Marc Anthony. But Lopez's legal people were quick to move to stop the book from being published, arguing Noa was in breach of a previous agreement between the couple that stipulated that he would not be able to publicly disparage the singer.

The dispute was forced into arbitration earlier this year, and the judge arbitrating last week agreed that Noa was, indeed, in breach of a previous agreement, and as a result ordered a permanent injunction on any book being published (a temporary injunction had previously been issued, if I remember rightly) as well as awarding Lopez damages in respect of Noa's breach.

A further hearing is now schedule for 5 Sep, though I'm not really sure what for. Perhaps I should find out.
