Spice Girls Appeal Court Ruling

The Spice Girls, taking their dispute with Italian scooter maker Aprilia to the Court of Appeal, denied that they knew of Geri Halliwell’s imminent departure when they signed an endorsement deal. The girls had sued the company for $316,000 in unpaid fees from the company’s $835,000 sponsorship deal for a 1998 world tour that had turned sour after Geri Halliwell left the band.
