U2 bassist Clayton sees court case adjourned

A High Court application by U2 bassist Adam Clayton to be paid the proceeds of sale of an apartment in New York purchased by his former personal assistant Carol Hawkins with what he claims is his money has been adjourned to allow for settlement talks.

The court also heard yesterday that Ms Hawkins has lodged appeals against her conviction and the seven year prison sentence she received after a jury found was found guilty of stealing €2.8m of Mr Clayton's money.
