In a complaint, Nores claims he "did not have a legal duty to Liam" and that his friendship with the musician was misrepresented to an Argentine prosecutor

Liam Payne 's friend Roger Nores has filed a defamation suit against the singer's father, Geoff Payne. He claimed that his late friend's father smeared him in the media in the weeks after Payne's death, referencing the man's claim of Nores being negligent in taking care of the singer.

The One Direction singer died aged 31 from ‘polytrauma’, after falling from an Argentine hotel balcony in October.
