The producers lost the first round of the battle, but continued seeking some sort of restitution.
Now Florida U.S. District Judge Federico Moreno has rules that Hilton may be liable for $163,000 for failing to do interviews with the British and Russian press. However, he wants to review more paperwork before setting a final amount.
