“Proceedings have been issued on behalf of President Donald J. Trump against Orbis Business Intelligence Limited. The claim relates to breaches of UK Data Protection law arising from the inaccurate processing of the President’s personal data by Orbis following the publication of the false ‘Steele Dossier,’” according to Lowles.

“The President’s claim seeks remedies including that the inaccurate data contained within the Steele Dossier be erased or rectified together with the payment of damages,” the statement added.

A two-day hearing is set to begin Oct. 16, the Independent reported, citing a High Court order published Thursday. No other details about the proceeding were immediately available.

[British laws on defamation and libel/slander are much better for plaintiffs than in the US, which is no doubt why Trump chose the UK as his venue. Will he sue Hillary Clinton, the person who largely funded Steele’s effort? — Ed]
