Judge rejects Fox motions, allows Dominion's $1.6 billion defamation suit to go to trial

Publishing timestamp: 2023-03-31 17:08:23


Summary

A Delaware judge has ruled that Dominion Voting's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox Corp. and its networks can go to trial in April. The judge rejected Fox's arguments that it should bypass trial since it's protected by the First Amendment, but granted some of Dominion's motions. The ruling comes after Fox and Dominion's attorneys met before the judge over two days in Delaware, urging him to make a ruling rather than go to trial with a jury in mid-April. The trial is expected to last for weeks and is set to begin on April 17.
