bullet Oprah Winfrey settles mum's legal dispute corner

London, Nov 25 : Talk show queen Oprah Winfrey has finally settled a year-long legal dispute between her mother and bosses of a Wisconsin clothing boutique.

According to the court documents, Vernita Lee had an open-ended charge account with Brookfield boutique Valentina Inc. and racked up the bill in 2008, according to court papers.

According to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, she was sued by the company for failing to pay the bill in agreed monthly increments of 1,250 pounds.

However, Lee filed a counter claim, insisting she should not have to pay interest on the account because store bosses extended credit to her even though they were well aware of her troubles managing debt, reports the Daily Express.

Winfrey has finally settled the dispute by paying out 97,220 pounds in outstanding bill.

The Milwaukee Sun is essentially a local Milwaukee newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Milwaukee, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Milwaukee Sun.
