The High Court ruling is an embarrassment for Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a nephew of Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah, who gave evidence in person for two days at the trial earlier this month.
The prince was being sued by Daad Sharab, a Jordanian businesswoman who said she was not paid any commission for brokering the sale of the jet to Gaddafi, which was completed in 2006 for $120 million.
