John Paul DeJoria, the businessman behind Paul Mitchell hair products and tequila maker The Patrón Spirits Co., won’t have to pay a $123 million judgment against him in Morocco, thanks to an American appellate ruling in his favor.

“Proving that it is often harder to collect a judgment than win one, this is the second time the question of the judgment’s validity has come before us,” the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit wrote, before siding with DeJoria in the nine-figure dispute.
