What happened
The High Court dismissed the claim on February 1, 2024, largely on limitation grounds, finding Trump had waited far too long to bring it. In March 2024 he was ordered to pay Orbis roughly £300,000 in legal costs. It was one of a run of Trump-as-plaintiff media suits — CNN, Clinton, Orbis — that ended in dismissal and cost orders against him.
