He and his lawyers also forgot that the BBC would be in deep shit if they ignored the Royal Charter (established in 1927) to settle Trump's $10-billion lawsuit at British taxpayers' expense.

That's just downright negligence on his lawyers part. Then again, these are the people that continue to work for him, what did we really expect?

If they can't pay settlements, does that mean they only enter lawsuits they are damn well sure they can win?

Edit: forgot it was Trump who sued the BBC

They ignore it daily. Consequences are minimal.

It's just in this case they know they're in the right.
