Deadline reports:
A Delaware judge on Tuesday expressed anger over recent disclosure made by Fox that Rupert Murdoch is listed as an officer of Fox News, not just Fox Corp. “This is a problem,” Judge Eric M. Davis told Fox attorneys, saying that it could have impacted his previous rulings in the case.
A Dominion attorney argued that the last-minute disclosure, made by Fox to Dominion on Sunday, has had an impact on the way that the case has been litigated. He said that it it means that they would be entitled to a wider set of documents from Fox, including from Murdoch, during the discovery phase of the case.
Fox has previously argued that Fox Corp. and its officers, including Murdoch and his son, CEO Lachlan Murdoch, did not have daily operational roles at the network.
