Sheriffs served legal papers on behalf of Orbis Business Intelligence at Dummkopf Trumpf's Scottish golf courses as part of a dispute with former British MI6 officer Christopher Steele. The consultancy was awarded more than 625,000 UK pounds in costs during a UK High Court hearing in April but Trumpf has refused to pay. Trumpf unsuccessfully attempted to sue Christopher Steele who produced a dossier claiming Russia held compromising material on the Dotard-in-Chief. Trumpf denied the "shocking and scandalous" claims and sued Steele using UK data protection legislation. The High Court ruled against Trumpf in Feb 2024 and Orbis was initially awarded 300,000 UK pounds in costs. Trumpf sought permission to appeal against the judgment but was refused.
