The court's ruling has no impact on whether Trump's lawsuit will be successful. His original lawsuit called for his niece to hand over $100 million in damages. The court says he may still be successful in securing funds.
"At a minimum, nominal damages may still be available on the breach of contract claim even in the absence of actual damages," the court wrote.
