Claim 1: “Judge Mr Justice Nicklin found the [evidence presented by the Duke of Sussex and his co-claimants] devastating”
MISLEADING
While one source (Flipboard) claims the judge found the evidence 'devastating', the actual legal outcome reported by the BBC and other news sources is that the judge dismissed the claims and found the group 'failed to prove the allegations'. The claim presents a fragment of the judge's observation without the context that the claimants ultimately lost the case.
