LONDON CNN —A London judge has dismissed Donald Trump’s lawsuit against retired British spy Christopher Steele over his controversial 2016 dossier that contained unverified and salacious allegations about Trump’s ties to Russia. A judge from the London High Court dismissed the data privacy lawsuit against Steele and his company, Orbis Business Intelligence, according to local reports. Those uncorroborated claims first emerged in the so-called Steele dossier, which Steele secretly compiled on behalf of Trump’s political opponents in 2016, and became public after a media leak in early 2017. The memos claimed Trump conspired with the Kremlin to win in 2016 and that Russia had compromising information on him. Judge Karen Steyn said Thursday that Trump’s case lacked merit and should be thrown out.

Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, is suing Orbis Business Intelligence for alleged data protection breaches over a dossier written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who co-founded Orbis. The Steele dossier, published by the BuzzFeed website in 2017, alleged ties between Trump's campaign and Russia and said Trump engaged in sexual behaviour that gave Russian authorities material with which to blackmail him. Orbis, however, argues that Trump is bringing the claim simply to address his "longstanding grievances" against the company and Steele. 'SHOCKING AND SCANDALOUS'Trump's lawyer Hugh Tomlinson told the court the former president wanted to prove that the "shocking and scandalous claims" in the Steele dossier were false. White said Trump only sued Orbis in London after a similar case brought in Florida against Orbis, Steele and others – including his Democratic opponent in the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton – was dismissed.

Trump has previously criticised what he described as Steele's "fake dossier" and his lawyers said in court filings made public on Monday that the report is "egregiously inaccurate". Trump's lawyer Hugh Tomlinson told London's High Court: "President Trump brings this case because he seeks vindication of his legal rights." 'SHOCKING AND SCANDALOUS'Trump wants to prove that the "shocking and scandalous claims" in the Steele dossier are false and "intends to discharge that burden by giving evidence in this court", Tomlinson said. But Orbis' lawyers argue that Trump's lawsuit should be thrown out of court. Steele did attend and sat alongside Orbis' lawyers during the hearing.

LONDON, March 21 (Reuters) - Google (GOOGL.O) asked London's High Court on Tuesday to throw out a lawsuit brought on behalf of 1.6 million people over medical records provided to the tech giant by a British hospital trust. The Royal Free London NHS Trust transferred patient data to Google's artificial intelligence firm DeepMind Technologies in 2015 in relation to the development of a mobile app designed to analyse medical records and detect acute kidney injuries. Google and DeepMind were sued last year by Royal Free patient Andrew Prismall on behalf of 1.6 million people for alleged misuse of private information. However, Prismall's lawyer Timothy Pitt-Payne said in court filings that every claimant "had their patient-identifiable medical records transferred ... and therefore suffered the same loss of control". "Every wrongful transfer of medical records merits an award of damages," he added.
