Prince Harry<\/strong>\u2019s court battle with the British government is getting more complicated by the day. The prince\u2019s attorney has received a scolding from the presiding judge after confidential court documents were leaked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harry\u2019s Case Against The British Government<\/h2>\n

Harry is currently suing British officials after they cut off police protection for Harry and his family during their stay in the UK. Their reasoning? They are no longer considered royals and therefore are not eligible for tax-payer-funded security. Harry believes that there is a high threat against his family and that they require a security detail with jurisdiction in the UK as well as access British security information.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lawsuit is controversial, and it looks like Harry\u2019s lawyer is not making things any easier. His attorney, Shaheed Fatima, shared an embargoed version of a judgment\u2014meant only for the lawyers involved in the case\u2014with former British Army Major General Tim Robinson.<\/p>\n

Robinson is a partner at Schillings. The law firm that the prince hired to represent him is not his. He should not have been provided with a copy. Jonathan Swift is the presidency judge. The following was quoted: Evening Standard<\/em>A saying<\/a>, \u201cIt seems to me there was a breach of the embargo, the draft judgment should not have been provided to Mr Robinson.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Presiding Judge Demanded An Apology From Harry\u2019s Attorney<\/h2>\n

Fatima and Harry\u2019s team claim there was no breach, but Judge Swift disagreed: \u201cLet me disabuse you of that notion\u2014there has been a breach.\u201dFatima was also criticised by him for her reaction to the breach. \u201cIt is also unacceptable you have come here without an apology.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift did hear Fatima say she accepted full responsibility for the leaked documents. \u201cWith the benefit of hindsight, I should have thought more fully\u2014before the emails were sent\u2014about Mr Robinson\u2019s status, and with the benefit of hindsight I should have, out of an abundance of caution, contacted the court.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swift was quick to respond. \u201cIt\u2019s not for me to require you to apologize. It should be a matter for you as a matter of professional conscience. If you chose not to, there is nothing I propose to do about it.\u201dFatima offered an apology and said, \u201cI am very sorry for the fact I didn\u2019t think fully before the emails were sent and I didn\u2019t contact the court sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n

Major Decisions in the Lawsuit<\/h2>\n

The next step was to decide what information should become public in the security lawsuit. The court ruled that portions of Harry\u2019s suit against the U.K. Home Office would remain confidential in order to protect members of the royal family and others who receive police protection.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harry\u2019s lawsuit against the British government is still ongoing, but with information leaks like this and the amount of public interest in the case, it might take a while for this case to be settled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
