Hollywood Actress Gwyneth Paltrow wins ski crash trial

Gwyneth Paltrow has prevailed in the civil trial relating to a 2016 ski collision. A Utah jury on Thursday found Paltrow, an Oscar-winning actor and the founder and CEO of Goop, not liable and ruled in her favor in her counterclaim against the man who sued her.

Couple sues Hospital after babies held over Sh.4 Million Bill.

A couple has moved to court seeking to sue Nairobi South Hospital to release two of their new born babies who have been detained. Charles Ndonye and his wife Virginia Olembo who were blessed with quadruplets claim that the hospital has detained two of their infants. Olembo gave birth on February 1 and was discharged on 26th with two babies and not four. According to court documents the hospital told them they would not discharge the babies because they were still receiving medication but later said they would not release them due to the bill.
