Looks like Trump is getting more than he bargained for when taking on BBC.

    I’m hoping the beeb wins and gets everything they want. It will signal to other entities he’s threatened with lawsuits that he’s a stuffed shirt (and how!) that has more dirt to hide than they do.

      UK law is much more open to discovery than the US, and losers pay. Betcha Trump didn’t know that.

        Oh, if that’s the case, when he loses, he’ll be chewing what’s left of his hair.

        Trump HATES paying for anything.

        I’ve been in the Trades since 1980 and for years, the running snarky aside about him went “If you want to know whether Trump pays his bills, ask any electrician in New Jersey…”

        Apparently he’s gone through a lot of them and stiffed quite a few over the decades.

          Nope. And there is no mediation, which is why the US is full of ambulance chasers and everyone sues everyone.

          Not unless the judge rules that one side must cover the cost incurred by the other. Even then, they could drag out the payment over the course of years due to appeals or bankruptcy filings.
