Meghan Markle court case will go ahead despite lockdown – Duchess risks showdown with dad

Meghan Markle and Harry: Experts discuss 'spread of positivity'

The latest skirmish in Meghan’s privacy trial will take place on January 19. Due to the restrictions in place in England, the hearing will take place remotely.  

During this hearing, lawyers will discuss the application from Meghan’s side for a summary judgement. 

The Daily Express royal correspondent Richard Palmer wrote on Twitter: “Mr Justice Warby will hear Meghan’s application for summary judgment in her case against The Mail on Sunday in a remote hearing on January 19 and 20 now.” 

By applying for a summary judgement, the Duchess of Sussex is asking for a court decision without a trial, which at the moment is set to take place in autumn. 

In late October, Meghan’s lawyers explained the decision to apply for it claiming the Mail on Sunday had “no real prospect’ of defending its actions in law”, as reported by ITV royal editor Chris Ship.
