The judge did not mention anything about a potential settlement.
that Fox could be pursuing a last-minute settlement deal, which would prevent its executives from being paraded in front of a jury.: Dominion is seeking $1.6 billion in damages in the lawsuit it filed more than two years ago against Fox News, but it appears to have softened its settlement claims.
In a court filing Sunday from Fox, it was revealed that Dominion said in an email to Fox lawyers on April 14 that it would not push the jury to consider the profit damages it alleges from Fox’s coverage.Fox also asked for a clarification or reconsideration regarding whether that email could be used as evidence to assist the jury in assessing Dominion's damages claims.
A Dominion spokesperson clarified Monday morning in a statement saying, "The damages claim remains. As Fox well knows, our damages exceed $1.6B.": Legal experts agree that Dominion has a strong case in being able to prove that Fox acts with “actual malice” when it aired false election claims. But given Dominion’s size, it may be tougher to convince a jury that Dominion should be awarded $1.6 billion worth of damages.The case, if it does go to trial, would set a historic precedent for the First Amendment and could change the way Fox approaches its coverage moving forward.
If the two parties settle, the settlement would likely be one of the largest ever for a media company in a defamation lawsuit.
