A Manhattan-based New York Supreme Court Commercial Division justice has ordered that the men who lost a 2017 trial over intellectual property associated with The Palm Restaurant owe $4.5 million in fees to the plaintiffs attorneys at Hoguet Newman Regal & Kenney, according to an order filed Thursday.

The suit, which involved the descendants of the two Italian immigrants who founded the first Palm on Manhattan’s Second Avenue in 1926, led Justice Andrea Masley to award more than $120 million to the plaintiffs in November 2018. Much of that award has been set to go to Claire Breen and Gary Ganzi, members of the Ganzi family whose cousin, Walter Ganzi Jr., is a defendant.
