Former royal butler Paul Burrell has refused to return to the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.
He had been asked to explain discrepancies between his evidence and comments reported in the Sun newspaper.
In a video recording obtained by the Sun, Mr Burrell apparently claims he introduced "red herrings" during his evidence and held back facts.
The coroner said he cannot compel him to give evidence because he is outside the court's jurisdiction in the US.
Lord Justice Scott Baker said in a statement: "The coroner asked him to give further evidence either in person or via videolink from abroad.
"Mr Burrell has refused to do this and, as he is outside the court jurisdiction, the coroner has no power to compel him to give evidence."
Full Story
Once again Burrell is back. One innocent testimony must not be enough for the British courts.
Grade this.
