Judge Blocks Subpoena in High-Profile Legal Battle

Judge Blocks Subpoena in Blake Lively Case, Citing Lack of Evidence A New York federal judge has blocked a subpoena request in the ongoing legal battle between actress Blake Lively and Wayfarer Studios. Judge Lewis J. Liman ruled that Wayfarer failed to provide sufficient evidence to justify overriding attorney-client privilege and accessing communications between Edgworth Security Services and Jonesworks LLC. The decision protects privileged communications related to potential litigation. "The Wayfarer Parties have not even attempted to argue that the crime-fraud exception applies," Judge Liman wrote in his decision. This highlights the lack of evidence presented by Wayfarer to support their claims. The subpoena sought communications related to the investigation and potential litigation. The ruling is a significant victory for Jonesworks and Edgworth Security, protecting their confidential communications. The case continues, with the focus now shifting to other aspects of the dispute.
