Overview
- Katy Perry sought $4.72 million for lost rental value and repairs, but a judge’s proposed order pegs her recovery at roughly $1.84 million.
- The tentative ruling, signed by Judge Joseph Lipner, would take effect absent timely objections, with a related hearing set for December 30.
- The court’s calculation credits about $2.8 million in fair‑market rent and roughly $260,000 for repairs, then deducts retained capital and lost interest to reach the net award.
- Under the order, approximately $1.8 million could be deducted from the $6 million remaining from the $15 million purchase price held back in escrow after $9 million was paid.
- Perry prevailed on liability in 2024, while Westcott’s team continues to argue she still owes millions from the original sale price as both sides press competing financial claims.
