Dominion Voting Systems urged a Delaware judge to compel Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, and his son, Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch, to appear live in court during the upcoming trial over its $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox and its networks.
In a letter to Judge Eric Davis on Wednesday, Dominion urged the judge to compel both Murdochs to appear live.
In earlier court papers Dominion did not included the Murdochs on its list for live testimony, although it had been earlier discussed in court.
Fox had opposed Murdoch, as well as the other Fox Corp. executives, giving their testimony live in court.
They had also pointed to the elder Murdoch's age, 92, as a reason for why he couldn't appear live in court.
