The emeritus king, Juan Carlos I, has shown himself “very satisfied“after learning this Friday that the High Court of England and Wales has concluded that he cannot be tried in the United Kingdom for the lawsuit for alleged harassment filed by his former close friend Corinna Larsen to claim 126 million pounds (about 146 million) of euros) for damages.”justice has been done“, has said.
In a statement, collected by Europa Press, the monarch celebrated that the English courts have “totally and conclusively rejected the claim filed” against them“concluding that the demand has no real prospects of success and therefore cannot and will not proceed to trial“.
Juan Carlos I has emphasized that Judge Rowena Collins Rice qualified Larsen’s claim of “speculative” and “strange” in his ruling, noting that the plaintiff had not provided sufficient evidence to support her allegations, despite having initiated the English judicial procedure against Her Majesty almost three years ago.

“Her Majesty has always considered that the claim presented by the plaintiff lacks substance or merit. “His emphatic rejection of all harassment allegations raised by the plaintiff was also noted by the Court of Appeal in its December 2022 ruling, and the English courts have now dismissed and dismissed the claim in its entirety,” he noted.
The judge has concluded that the High Court of England and Gales lacks jurisdiction to hear this claim. “This is because it has not been brought against the defendant in his country of domicile, as is his default right; and the plaintiff has not convinced me that he has solid and defensible arguments that his claim falls within an exception to that predetermined rule,” he said.
