Judge again sides with Justin Theroux in dispute with neighbor
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Justin Theroux has won another round in his legal battle against a neighbor, as a judge has ruled that the man must stay off the actor’s property until they finish duking it out in court.
Theroux, 47, sued real estate lawyer and downstairs neighbor Norman Resnicow in 2017 accusing him of carrying out a campaign of harassment that began when the actor — who was living with then-wife Jennifer Aniston, 50 — began $1 million renovations on his West Village condo.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovits Monday ruled in Theroux’s favor, escalating a temporary restraining order against Resnicow to a preliminary injunction that will remain in place until the case is over.

Lebovits — who earlier this month sided with Theroux ruling that Resnicow had trespassed on his property — in Monday’s decision said that Resnicow had harassed potential witnesses in the case.

In May, Resnicow had to cough up $23,000 for violating the TRO by sending an allegedly hostile email to the president of the co-op board.
