Kevin Spacey and his production companies must pay the studio behind House Of Cards more than US$30mil (RM130mil) because of losses brought on by his firing for sexual misconduct, according to an arbitration decision made final Monday (Nov 22).

A document filed in Los Angeles Superior Court requesting a judge's approval of the ruling says that the arbitrators found that Spacey violated his contract's demands for professional behaviour by "engaging certain conduct in connection with several crew members in each of the five seasons that he starred in and executive produced House Of Cards”.
