The Maleficent actress’ legal setback centers on Jolie’s sale of her ownership stake in the winery and estate in Provence in southern France to Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler in 2021.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Lia Martin on Friday overturned a trio of motions to dismiss that Jolie’s attorneys filed regarding comments Pitt made in court last April, alleging that Jolie’s actions violated a pact that they had closed. People reported after review of legal documents.

The deal was struck in 2013 through their companies Mongo Bongo and Nouvel, Pitt’s lawyers told the court, the newspaper said.

The organizations “entered into a written agreement … to grant each other the right of first refusal on any sale of their respective interests in Miraval,” which “excluded [both parties] refrain from selling their interests without the other’s consent.’

The Fight Club actor’s lawyers said Pitt and Jolie had also explicitly agreed to the agreement verbally, People reported.

According to legal documents, Jolie has a 30-day period to file an answer to the latest ruling in the long-running case.

An insider close to Pitt described the judge’s recent ruling as “a clear victory for” Pitt, who is currently in a relationship with 31-year-old jeweler Ines de Ramon.

Judge Martin’s denial of the three motions that Jolie’s team pushed to throw out the agreements as part of the case “demonstrates the legitimacy of his claims and once again demonstrates that the other side’s conversations are not substantively supported,” he said. the insider told People.

A source close to Pitt described the legal battle as “a simple business dispute” for the New York Post Monday.

“Unfortunately, the other side has consistently introduced personal elements that have exposed weaknesses in their case and made the proceedings more complicated and lengthy,” the source said.
