Friday, November 6, 1998
Today a British High Court ruled against Smiths singer Stephen Morrissey. Morrissey had appealed a 1996 decision stemming from charges that he and guitarist Johnny Marr had taken more than their fair share of band profits from drummer Mike Joyce and bassist Andy Rourke. More than a decade after the band split up, the matter has still been pursued by Joyce; Rourke already settled out of court. Should the decision stand, Morrissey and Marr could have to shell out 1 millions pounds or so, not including legal fees. Morrissey has the option to appeal the decision once again, this time with the House of Lords, the final appeals court for England and Wales.
