A judge in London on Thursday dismissed a data protection lawsuit filed by Donald Trump against the private intelligence company owned by former British spy Christopher Steele.

The 41-page judgment delivered by High Court of Justice Judge Karen Steyn largely avoids discussion of the lurid allegations contained in the discredited Steele dossier by, rather, ruling on procedural grounds.

The lawsuit was originally filed in October 2022 against Steele and his co-owned company, Orbis Business Intelligence, which compiled the controversial dossier throughout 2016. The initial claims were based on two U.K. data protection laws passed in 2018. Trump’s legal team essentially moved to amend the lawsuit and only sue Orbis in February 2023 — and to include a claim based on a 1998 data protection law.

In the end, the judge determined Trump’s lawsuit contained no valid claims under the 2018 laws — because those two laws “came into force” well after the completion of the complained-of memos in the 2016 dossier. And, Steyn also found, the six-year statute of limitations for the claim based on the 1998 law had passed by the time Trump’s English barrister Hugh Tomlinson thought to include that later claim.
