Back to the pop courts, and an LA judge has ordered Prince to pay a video editor $58,000 in a dispute over unpaid editing fees. Ian C Lewis sued Prince and his company Paisley Park Enterprises last year claiming he was owed fees by the singer, and that equipment he had loaned him had been broken and unreturned. Although finding in Lewis' favour over the fees, Judge Gregory Alarcon turned down his claim for $1 million in exemplary damages, and also rejected a claim regarding an allegedly broken $25,000 computer because the editor was unable to produce a receipt.
