Prince to pay up!!! Last year, video editor Ian C. Lewis sued Prince and his company, Paisley Park Enterprises.
The amount? A total of $1,000,000 in exemplary damages. Apparently, Lewis says Prince never paid him for editing work and never returned some of his equipment. Just last month a trial was held that included testimony from Lewis saying he deserved to be paid. But on Wednesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge issued an order that said Prince would only have to pay about $58,000 to Lewis. At least that's nowhere close to the original $1 million he was asking for. Lewis had also claimed that Prince and his company broke at $25,000 computer, but the judge denied that claim since no receipts were provided. And in a weird turn, Prince's attorneys withdrew from the case! He wasn't represented during the trial!!! Taking that craziness into account, Prince must be quite thankful for the outcome! http://perezhilton.com/page/7/ | |

Sounds like they knew it wasn't worth thier time (or Prince said forget it) and decided to let the court decide.

$1,000,000? I thought it was $58,000.
