The Federal Court will tomorrow decide whether Bruce Lehrmann can push ahead with his bid for an appeal against the findings in his failed defamation case against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson.
The Federal Court will decide whether Bruce Lehrmann 's bid to appeal against the findings of his failed defamation case can proceed.
Mr Lehrmann's 2022 criminal trial for the alleged rape of Ms Higgins was abandoned due to juror misconduct, leaving no findings against him, and he maintains his innocence. The decision meant Network Ten's defence of truth was successful and Mr Lehrmann was later ordered to pay the broadcaster's costs of $2 million.
For its part, Network Ten is asking for $200,000 from Mr Lehrmann for security of costs – money it wants put aside to pay for its legal fees if Mr Lehrmann loses the appeal. Network Ten says if Mr Lehrmann cannot produce the security within an imposed time frame, the appeal should be dismissedDecision due for 'arguably Australia's most hated man'
