U2 herald 'principled' victory in Stetson court case

U2 said today they had taken their former stylist to court out of principle rather than because of the value of the goods she had taken.

The band sued Lola Cashman to recover Bono’s iconic Stetson, a pair of metal hooped earrings, a green sweatshirt and a pair of black trousers, which she took without permission during the band’s Joshua Tree tour in 1987.
