Gwyneth Paltrow, famous Oscar winner, Marvel legend and creator of lifestyle brand Goop has been awarded a win in her recent court case trial winning compensation of….. one american dollar!
VERDICT IS IN: JURY FIND IN FAVOUR OF DEPP
Terry Sanderson, a retired ophthalmologist, sued Gwyneth Paltrow after he claimed a 2016 skiing collision had left him with permanent brain injury. The jury determined that Sanderson, 76, was “100%” at fault for the accident at the Utah ski resort seven years prior. The jury’s decision was reached on Thursday in just two hours and 20 minutes.
Sanderson must pay Ms. Paltrow a nominal $1 in damages (similar to the case won by singer Taylor Swift), but he also has to cover his and Gwyneth’s potentially high legal expenses which could be in the hundreds of thousands.
She sat with her hands clasped on her desk and gave off a worried expression as the judgement was announced, but when the court clerk said that Mr. Sanderson was at fault, she nodded in agreement.
Paltrow approached Sanderson as she was leaving the court, stroked his shoulder, and said “I wish you luck.” He said, “Thank you, sweetie.”

The verdict follows eight days of live-streamed trial evidence that attracted viewers from all around the world and became a pop culture obsession.
When she left the court, the actress waved at the cameras and grinned, but she would not remark.
In the meantime, Sanderson, who had lost the lawsuit, claimed he still stands by his account of what happened.
