An application by the Duke of York to dismiss the case was previously denied by a judge.
denied the duke’s application to dismiss the caseThe judge’s decision was a huge blow for Andrew, whose lawyer argued earlier this month the case should be thrown out as Giuffre had waived her right to pursue the duke by signing a confidential settlement with disgraced financier Epstein.
The latest court document, which details all 11 reasons why the duke’s lawyers believed the case should be dismissed, reiterated the position on the 2009 agreement which was that Giuffre “waived the claims now asserted in the complaint”.The document reads: “Assuming, without admitting, that Giuffre has suffered any injury or damage alleged in the complaint, Giuffre’s claims are barred by the doctrine of consent.
The document also argues that the claims should be dismissed because Giuffre is a permanent resident of Australia.
