British soul star Amy Winehouse has settled a copyright infrigement case with songwriter/producer P*Nut, according to his lawyer. 

P*Nut - real name John Harrison - claims he co-wrote Winehouse's song "He Can Only Hold Her" with the "Rehab"star, but was not given appropriate credit in the sleeve notes on her sophomore album Back To Black. 
But Harrison's lawyer claims the two parties have now reached a suitable agreement, which will see Harrison given credit for the track, in addition to a share of the song's copyright and payment of legal costs.

His attorney, Bob Page, says, "This represents a very satisfactory outcome for P*Nut, who considered his contribution to the song to be perfectly obvious.

"He was therefore extremely disappointed not to receive the credit he deserved on Amy's album and furthermore at the extent of the resistance he encountered in securing his fair share of the copyright.

"Whilst Amy and her publishers took the matter to the brink, P*Nut is pleased that common sense has prevailed and he is now looking forward to seeing his contribution properly recognised on future exploitation of this song."

However a spokesman for Winehouse's label, Is land Records, says he is not familiar with the case.
