Judge Refuses To Drop Civil Case Against Prince Andrew

Huff Post  

Prince Andrew’s motion to get the civil case against him dropped has been dismissed by a New York federal judge. The judge’s decision followed a hearing last Tuesday, where Andrew’s legal team suggested a newly-released document dating back to 2009 actually prevented Giuffre from making any claims about Andrew. The document added: “As a material consideration in settling, First Parties and Second Parties agree that the terms of the Settlement Agreement are not intended to be used by any other person nor be admissible in any proceeding or case against or involving Jeffrey Epstein, either civil or criminal.” Andrew’s lawyers argued that this meant Giuffre could not file a lawsuit against him, especially as she had mentioned “royalty” elsewhere in the 2009 case. On Wednesday, the judge said: “The 2009 agreement cannot be said to demonstrate, clearly and unambiguously, the parties intended the instrument ‘directly,’ ‘primarily’ or ‘substantially’ to benefit Prince Andrew.” Giuffre filed the lawsuit back in August 2021 and Andrew was served with his papers around September.
