Former U2 stylist Lola Cashman has lodged an appeal with the High Court against the Circuit Court decision directing her to return items of the rock group's working wardrobe.

Mr Justice Matthew Deery last week decided that a pair of Bono's pants, his sweat shirt, ear rings, Stetson hat and more than 200 photographs were the property of U2 and gave her seven days to return them.

Ms Cashman, a stylist employed in the mid-eighties to help create a new U2 image, had claimed the items had been gifted to her by Bono and denied she had "stolen" them during the band's Joshua Tree world tour.

Today the question of legal costs was to have been dealt with by the Circuit Court president, Mr Justice Deery, but Ms Eileen Barrington, counsel for U2, said the matter could be adjourned for a week on consent of both parties.

Afterwards it was learned that an appeal against Mr Justice Deery's decision had been lodged in the High Court - which means a retrial unless the parties reach mutually acceptable settlement terms before that.
