UK: Prince Andrew’s Law Firm Questions ‘defective Service’ Of Legal Papers In Assault Case

It’ll be harder than a camel getting through the eye of a needle to serve this scumbag…

On September 6, A UK-based law firm that is representing Prince Andrew on this case questioned the authenticity of the service of the documents.

About two weeks after Duke of York, Prince Andrew was served with legal papers relating to the Virginia Guiffre sexual assault case, attorneys on Saturday claimed that the service was “potentially defective.” A UK-based law firm that is representing the Prince on this case on September 6 questioned the authenticity of the service of documents. They also raised the possibility of challenging the court’s decision regarding this case, a letter in this regard written to Giuffre’s attorneys mentioned.

Following the assertions, the US civil court on Monday will hold a pre-trial conference to argue over the service of documents in the case, the Associated Press reported. According to reports, on August 27, attorneys of Virginia Giuffre handed over the legal documents to an on-duty Metropolitan Police Officer at the main gates of Prince Andrew’s home in Windsor.

As per reports, the man who was on duty to serve the papers arrived at the Royal Lodge at Windsor, Berkshire on August 26, BBC reported. The agent then asked for Prince’s private security or anyone close to the authority. However, on receiving a negative response from the Royal Lodge authorities, the agent returned. He later arrived at Prince’s Berkshire home to deliver the documents. On the same day, he was asked by the Head of Security to leave the papers with the police at the main gate. The delivery of the documents also meant that the Prince had to revert within 21 days of the court summons.
