Gwyneth Paltrowwon’t be reimbursed the attorney’s fees she incurred for her ski trial after all.
Lawyers for the 50-year-old Goop founder andTerry Sanderson, the retired optometrist who sued the star, agreed in a ruling published on Saturday to table the matter,accordingto The Associated Press.
It was not made immediately clear why the fees were dropped in District Court Judge Kent Holmberg’s final ruling, per the AP.
On March 30, the jury in the casefound Paltrow not liableand concluded that Sanderson was “100 percent” at fault in their 2016 ski collision.
The Oscar winner was originally awarded the $1 in damages and reimbursement of her legal fees that she asked for in her countersuit.

She testified that he was the one who hit into her, and thejurors ultimately sided with her.
