Bruce Lehrmann 's appeal could cost Network 10 and Lisa Wilkinson in excess of $200,000 each in legal fees, court documents have revealed.

Network 10's total legal bill could reach as high as $272,500 while Ms Wilkinson's could total $203,500. Network 10 said it is obliged to indemnify Ms Wilkinson for any legal costs that are properly or reasonably incurred in the appeal should it go forward, the documents read.
