'I wasn't actually there and indeed my ex-husband's whole pizza express alibi is based on the fact that I wasn't at home, but I can definitely say he went to pizza express, even though it was too early in the evening to provide a real alibi and the royal protection dudes have failed to back this up... and this is to support him in the claim he didn't rape the victim who was trafficked by the bloke who gave me all that free money'. Oh, and can I claim expenses for turning up at the court?

Right. So no privity of contract. The sweatless one, although he has never met the plaintiff, believes that a contract between the plaintiff and Epstein precludes the plaintiff from bringing further action against Epstein or anyone else who... what? in relation to what? And that it is binding on the plaintiff even though the defendant doesn't know the terms and isn't party to it.

My client never met this woman but if he had met this woman it doesn't matter because she agreed with someone else completely that she couldn't sue my client who has never met her anyway.
This seems like desperately looking for a legal technicality that might muddy the waters in the hope that they can then persuade the judge to dismiss the case. The fact that he hasn't dropped the case so far makes me believe that the judge has probably made his mind up it should go to trial. I suspect that He Who Cannot Sweat is still clinging to the hope that all this can be magically made to go away somehow and he can go back to Princing. It's a bit like Trump desperately searching for a way to cling on to the Presidency.

Yeah, I've no idea whether this will work for him, it might do. But it's hardly the defence an innocent man would reach for.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
Alternatively his lawyers are just "Hey, you're the client, whadda we know... (But your mum will be picking up the tab after, right?)"

Seems that mummy is bankrolling Andy's defence. It's a cracking look that, the monarch shelling out big bucks defending a child sex abuse case. Peak royalty.

it's not mummy bankrolling his defence, it's us, the idiot taxpayers. the sooner he's drowned in a tun of malmsey or raw sewage the better

My gran pronounced “margarine” with a hard g and she was a complete bitch to my Ma. Perhaps there’s a connection with odd pronunciation in grandmothers and the likelihood they’re despicable old cows?

Can't wait for the Ghislaine Maxwell testimony, she should be able to see that DoY is low-hanging fruit. She might be able to get away with not implicating some of the other rich and powerful people for whom there is less evidence (and therefore potentially save her own life) if she gives up the juice on Andy

I don't think she's got any real dirt on him or anyone else for that matter or she would have struck a deal long before now. She probably knows of course but has no hard evidence. If she stands up in court and points the finger at his Royal Nonciness then loads of people (deffo including me) are going to believe her but it is going to come down to just her word and that isn't going to be enough.

I think the fact that he is as dumb as a bag of rocks combined with a massive sense of entitlement is well established by now, He might very well have managed to talk his way out of this by now if he wasn't.
At risk of continuing an earlier sidetrack here, but I've only just caught up with this thread 
But why on earth would anyone, anywhere, pronounce 'licquorice' as 'Spanish'
???
100% failing to get that, or have I misunderstood something from those posts?????

Just enjoyin' my coffee.
It's a northern (Mancunian?) thing. We always called licorice spanish. If someone actually called it licorice, they were either posh or southern.

When I think on it, so have I. Mind you my Ma dotes on Mrs SFM while my MIL wishes I didn’t exist. Perhaps some paternal grandparents live up to the old stereotype of seeing their son’s partner as competition to be the most important female presence in his life - but they tend to be pretty overbearing “Alpha Female” types to begin with

"it is colloquially known as 'Spanish', supposedly because Spanish monks grew liquorice root at Rievaulx Abbey near Thirsk"
