Katy Perry's business manager was locked in a court battle over ownership rights of a multi-million dollar home after the owner attempted to rescind the offer.
A judge ruled Wednesday that Katy Perry 's business manager , Bernie Gudvi , is entitled to the uphoding of contract for the Montecito home purchased on her behalf in 2020. Carl Westcott , the founder of 1-800-Flowers , filed a lawsuit against Gudvi after attempting to rescind the deal he made to sell his eight-bedroom mansion to Perry for $15 million. Westcott claimed he 'lacked capacity' to sign the transaction due to a recent surgery and brain disorder .
The trial was bifurcated – split into two parts – by the judge, with the damages phase set to take place in February. Perry will take the stand during next time, in which she will testify about the claim that she lost out on years of rental income due to the litigation. Carl's son Chart said in a statement to Fox News Digital, 'Where the judge's ruling may follow the letter of the law, it shows that the law has no spirit.
Perry's attorney said in a statement provided to Fox News Digital, 'Today’s proposed decision is clear – the judge found that Mr. Westcott could not prove anything other than he was of perfectly sound mind when he engaged in complex negotiations over several weeks with multiple parties to transact a lucrative sale of the property that netted him a substantial profit.' 'The evidence shows that Mr. Westcott breached the contract for no other reason than he had changed his mind.
