Halle Berry 'settles property suit'

Actress Halle Berry has tentatively settled a $2m (€1.67m) countersuit she filed against the previous owners of a Beverly Hills property she and her husband bought, her lawyer said.

Her lawsuit, filed in June, alleged former homeowners Jonathan and Alison Roth did not tell her the $2m (€1.67m) home needed $1m (€835,000) of repairs. That suit followed one filed by the Roths, who claim the actress knew about the condition of the property and bought it ”as-is”.
