Erstwhile "King of Pop" Michael Jackson has been ordered to pay more than US$256,000 ($327,000) in overdue fees to a California law firm. The eccentric music legend, who is struggling to rebuild his career following his acquittal for child molestation charges in 2005, must pay US$216,837 in fees and US$39,177 in interest.
The law firm of Ayscough and Marar sued Jackson on February 21, last year.
A judge ruled last month in favour of the law firm, with Jackson's lawyers agreeing in principle to the judgment, which was signed last Friday, court records show.
