Civil Retrial For XtraJet

A retrial date has been set in a Los Angeles civil case brought by Mark Geragos and Pat Harris against a defunct charter jet company, Extra Jet and its owner, over the secret videotaping of Michael and his attorneys during a 2003 flight.

On Wednesday, a Los Angeles Superior Court judge set a new trial date of February 14th in the invasion of privacy suit brought by Mark Geragos and Pat Harris.

The attorneys were awarded a multimillion-dollar judgment against XtraJet’s owner Jeffrey Borer in March 2008, but that decision was overturned by an appeals court in January and lawyers for Geragos asked for a new trial rather than accept a reduced award.

Borer and an associate previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy in a criminal case.
