Back in 2006, the High Court ruled that Fisher was allowed 40% of the copyright of Whiter Shade of Pale, however, the Court Of Appeal overturned this last year because they claimed that the musician had waited far too long to take legal action over the matter. It had taken Fisher 38 years to do so.
Because of this ruling, the copyright for Whiter Shade of Pale, which was a number one in Britain in 1967, went back to Procol Harum singer Gary Brooker and lyrics-writer Keith Reid.
On Thursday, the Law Lords reversed this by reinstating the 2006 High Court ruling.
