Trial of High Court claims against Andrew Tate brought forward to next summer
Published By admin
The trial of civil claims against social media influencer Andrew Tate is due to be held months earlier than originally planned after a High Court judge said she was “very keen to get on” with the case.
Four women are suing the former professional kickboxer over allegations of sexual violence, including that he grabbed one by the throat on several occasions in 2015, assaulted her with a belt and pointed a gun at her face.
Tate’s barristers told an earlier court hearing that there was “total denial of wrongdoing”.
In written submissions for a hearing on Wednesday, barristers for the women said that following a preliminary hearing in April this year, a 16-day trial had been listed to start on February 22nd, 2027.
But Mrs Justice Lambert told the court in London that she was “very keen to get on” with the case and that it should be listed sooner, fixing the trial to start on June 22nd, 2026.
The trial could last up to five weeks, with a further preliminary hearing expected to take place at a later date.
