Michael Jackson’s mother has been ordered by a US court to pay AEG Live $800,000 (\u00a3480,000) for costs defending the failed negligence case she brought against the concert promoter.<\/p>\n

The company was cleared of liability over the 2009 death of the pop star in a five-month trail last October.<\/p>\n

AEG Live had sought $1.2m (\u00a3720,000) to cover costs, but Katherine Jackson’s lawyers claimed it was not justified.<\/p>\n

Both parties agreed not to challenge the court’s decision, but may appeal.<\/p>\n

The exact amount to be paid is expected to be finalised after AEG Live submits an amended list of its costs for items such as court filing fees and travel.<\/p>\n

AEG Live’s lawyer Marvin Putnam said the court did the right thing “by ordering Katherine Jackson to pay nearly $1m (\u00a3600,000) spent in having to defend a matter that she should have never brought in the first place”.<\/p>\n

Mrs Jackson’s lawyer Kevin Boyle said the costs would be borne by her and the singer’s three children, all of whom are supported by his estate.<\/p>\n

Mr Boyle added a decision on whether to appeal the order would be made after AEG Live’s costs are finalised.<\/p>\n

The Jackson family sued the company in 2010 claiming it negligently hired and supervised cardiologist Conrad Murray, who gave the singer a lethal dose of the anaesthetic propofol as a sleep aid during his planned comeback tour.<\/p>\n

However a jury concluded the doctor was not unfit or incompetent to do his job and so AEG Live had not been negligent in hiring him.<\/p>\n

Murray – who was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for administering the drug – was released from jail last October.<\/p>\n
