British court indicates it will serve lawsuit on Prince Andrew - ABC News

1st hearing in lawsuit against Prince Andrew to be held Monday.

A British court on Wednesday indicated that it intends to formally provide notice to Prince Andrew of a sexual assault lawsuit filed against him in New York, according to a court statement and documents obtained by ABC News.

The British court's decision comes just two days after a lawyer for Prince Andrew appeared in a New York court to argue that the 61-year-old son of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II had not been legally served with notice of Giuffre's lawsuit.

A lawyer for Giuffre said Wednesday that he regards the myriad objections of Prince Andrew's legal team as an effort to delay or avoid the prince having to face the allegations in court.
