, who worked for the author for more than three years, claiming Donaldson used Rowling's credit card to purchase a wide variety of items, including an espresso machine, stationery, coffee and baked goods. Donaldson also used the card to withdraw more than $1,500 in cash and over $10,000 in foreign currency, Rowling alleged.Sheriff Derek O'Carroll ruled that Donaldson's use of the card was unauthorized and that she must repay Rowling with interest for the purchases.

"The sheriff accepted the evidence of the pursuer, her husband and her other witnesses as entirely credible and reliable," the judgment against Donaldson read."By contrast, the sheriff did not accept the defender's evidence as either credible or reliable. He found that her evidence was a conscious fabrication."

Rowling had also accused Donaldson of taking a variety of Harry Potter-themed items without permission, but the court ruled there wasn't sufficient evidence to hold Donaldson responsible.
