Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday were asking a Delaware judge to find Fox Corp liable for defamation over airing debunked vote-rigging claims, while Fox lawyers fighting a $1.6 billion lawsuit counter that the network's 2020 election coverage was constitutionally protected speech.
WILMINGTON, Delaware, March 21 - Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday were asking a Delaware judge to find Fox Corp
Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis was presiding over a hearing in Wilmington ahead of the scheduled April 17 start of the high-profile defamation trial.
If the judge finds Fox liable for defamation at this stage of the litigation, the trial would concern only how much it must pay Dominion in damages. Both sides are seeking summary judgment - asking the judge to decide the case in their favor before it goes to a jury trial. Davis is expected to hear arguments on several issues including whether the claims that Fox News aired were defamatory, protected as newsworthy reporting and commentary and whether Fox isunearthed in the case's discovery process prove Fox executives and news staff knew the election-rigging claims were false but aired them anyway in pursuit of ratings.
