Goldstone gives it’s a “fairly binary willpower” for Prince Andrew’s licensed crew: Each work together or evade.

Can he work together and defend his place?

Goldstone says Andrew would possibly say to himself, “I’m not going to participate on this course of, on account of it’s outrageous, and I’ve extra nothing to say.” In affect, he could be refusing to bear the jurisdiction of the court docket docket on this case.

“If he needs to interact and bear the strategy of civil trial,” says Goldstone, “the one issue for him to do is to put in an acknowledgement and say to the New York court docket docket: ‘Okay, I’ll defend this, I’ll battle this.’ Nonetheless as I understand it, he’s beneath no obligation to answer and sometimes people choose to not reply resulting from every kind of assorted causes.”
