British courts have rejected a new request by Juan Carlos I to avoid the chair, citing crown immunity. As reported by the EFE agency at the time, London High Court Judge Matthew Nicklin on Tuesday refused to appeal to the King of Emeritus, Juan Carlos I, who ruled that he had no immunity from the alleged lawsuit. The harassment was inflicted on England by his ex-girlfriend Corina Larsen. King Emeritus can still hear the case in the Court of Appeal.
A British court ruling was announced last week: Judge Nicklin understands that immunity recognized by British law in 1978 does not protect Juan Carlos de Bourbon from harassment allegations by Larsen, which proves he was spied on, watched over and. Threatened by those around the monarch, before and after his resignation in 2014. The judge realized that these are events that have nothing to do with his position and that he is not currently part of any department of the royal house, although he remains a royal family.
This Tuesday, according to the agency EFE, the possibility of appealing the decision before Judge Niklin himself was denied, but the British lawyer of Juan Carlos I can still raise his doubts in the Court of Appeals.
The magistrate last week released a document in which he explored all the possibilities of the 1978 British law recognizing the inviolability of the heads of state of other countries who were brought to the chair. He understood that at present Juan Carlos de Borbon was not the head of state, although he retained the category of “Emeritus” and that he did not perform any work in any department or “house” by order of his son Felipe VI. He also denied the facts considered in this civil suit, the various harassment, presumably by order of the monarch, had nothing to do with his position.
In this regard, Judge Nicklin went so far as to confirm that the recognition of this immunity for actions related to the monarchy and his removal from the throne in 2014 would be the same as allowing him to rob a London jewelry store, without any legal consequences for him.
