Lindsay Lohan and her brother Michael Lohan Jr have won a round of a USD 60 million legal battle against Fima Potik, who tried to sue them for stealing his business idea.

The “Mean Girls” actress, her sibling and another partner were sued by Potik for USD 60 million after he alleged they stole his idea for a fashion app named Spotted Friend to launch their own titled Vigme, reported New York Post.

However, the parties have now agreed – pending a sign-off from a judge – to lift a temporary restraining order against them after their lawyer Ravi Batra claimed it had kept them from working on their business for a year.

“Fima has disobeyed three court orders to produce proof that he had a working app by June 2013, something he was never able to prove,” Batra said.

The lawyer also described Potik as a “celebrity leach” and a “spoiled little wannabe trust-fund baby who wants to hang out with Lindsay and who got himself a lot of ink by suing”.

Potik reportedly tried to put the legal battle on hold for financial reasons in September and Batra has now criticised him for his attempts.

Batra also revealed he’s moving for Potik to pay for the Lohan’s legal fees.

Bernard Daskal – who is Potik’s third attorney in the case – said: “At this time we have no comment.”
