  1. Why is Gwyneth Paltrow on trial?

    Gwyneth Paltrow is accused of causing a collision that left retired eye doctor Terry Sanderson, 76, concussed.

    Sanderson alleges that Paltrow crashed into him, causing him lasting injuries and brain damage.

    He is seeking $300,000 (£244,000) in damages, having dropped a previous claim for $3.1m. Paltrow has countersued and is seeking $1 plus legal fees.

    A doctor who gave evidence in court this week has said Sanderson had sustained a traumatic brain injury that "completely changed his life".

    The court heard earlier this week that Gwyneth Paltrow was "distracted" when she crashed into Sanderson, inflicting brain damage and breaking his ribs.

    Steve Owens, Paltrow’s lawyer, has rejected these claims.

    He told the jury Paltrow had just begun descending the slope when a pair of skis suddenly appeared between her legs and a man collided into her back.

  2. Welcome to our coverage

    When Oscar winner-turned-lifestyle influencer Gwyneth Paltrow and retired eye doctor Terry Sanderson took to the slopes in 2016, they can't have foreseen that they would still be talking about it seven years later.

    They collided on a beginner slope at an upmarket resort in Utah, and are now suing each other over what took place.

    The trial began on Tuesday and is expected to last about a week. Sanderson is due to take the stand later today to give his version of events.

    Proceedings at the court in Park City, Utah, are due to get under way shortly and we'll bring you the latest.
