Posture:
Civil discovery dispute — no merits ruling

Reporting on court filings said Trump's lawyers called the BBC requests disproportionate and a fishing expedition, while the BBC sought evidence supporting claimed reputational and financial harm. The BBC's dismissal motion remained pending. The dispute concerned discovery and did not adjudicate the complaint's defamation allegations or damages claim.
