New York Judge Lewis A. Kaplan refused to grant Prince Andrew's motion to dismiss the civil suit against him by Virginia Giuffre
went to court Tuesday to argue that Giuffre’s suit—in which she is seeking unspecified damages, claiming that Andrew raped her three times when she was 17—should be thrown out.
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer David Boies told The Daily Beast: “This is a very thoughtful and detailed opinion, and Ms. Giuffre is very pleased that Prince Andrew’s motion to avoid a trial has been denied. This means that evidence will now be taken on her claims. She will give evidence, Prince Andrew will give evidence. We are all pleased that there is now going to be a judicial determination on the merits of Virginia’s claim.
That agreement said that Giuffre agreed to “forever discharge... any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant” from future legal action. Brettler argued that Andrew was “unambiguously” included in the category of “Other potential defendants”; however Boies responded that the 2009 category was not relevant to Andrew because there was no allegation that Andrew was involved in the “transporting” of Giuffre.
A clearly stunned Brettler retorted, “It wouldn’t make sense for them to include language releasing other potential defendants if those other potential defendants didn’t have a right to use that contract as an affirmative defense.”
