The Duke of York has made an unprecedented request for all witness testimony taken in his sexual abuse case to be kept secret, it has emerged.
He wants depositions, including his own, to remain under seal, even if neither party declares the evidence confidential.
Lawyers for the Dukes accuser, Virginia Giuffre, said there was no logic or authority for such a provision.
The revelation was made in a letter from Sigrid McCawley, for Ms Giuffre, to Andrew Brettler, the Dukes lead counsel, dated December 24. It was lodged with the court on Tuesday as part of a fresh bid to get the civil case thrown out.
