Prince Andrew will be served papers ‘in person’ before trail
Prince Andrew will end up being served his assault lawsuit in person ahead of the trial
August 14, 2021
Officials claim Prince Andrew will be served official paperwork in person ahead of his hearing for the Virginia Giuffre rape and assault case.
Ms. Giuffre’s legal representative recently sat down with The Telegraph and shed light on the possible future outcome of the entire ordeal.
He was quoted saying, “We present him with a copy of the complaint in a formal way.”
“Because he is a foreign citizen, we have to do this under the Hague Convention.”
The reason for this ‘in person’ serving is because Britain has different legal rules that have to be satisfied even though the case has officially been filed in the US.
For those unversed, the Hague Convention is a multilateral treaty developed by the Hague Conference on Private International Law and deals with the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. It is also referred to as the Hague Abduction Convention.
