Prince Andrew cannot halt the sexual assault lawsuit against him with a domicile claim, a judge has said.
Andrew's lawyers called for the case to be stopped because Virginia Giuffre is "actually domiciled in Australia".
However, Judge Lewis Kaplan, in a ruling in New York, denied the request, stating that Ms Giuffre's legal team has previously received "at least one comprehensive request for documents relating to her domicile, to which responses are due, and have been promised, by January 14". The judge added that his ruling was being made "without determining the merit, or lack of merit" of an assertion by Ms Giuffre's team that Andrew's lawyers' motion was "a transparent attempt to delay discovery into his own documents and testimony".
It comes after Andrew was asked to provide evidence of his alleged inability to sweat by Ms Giuffre's lawyers.
