Nine newspapers are seeking access to emails Seven commercial director Bruce McWilliam sent and received during the former soldier’s failed defamation case.
, is seeking a court order forcing Australian Capital Equity , and potentially also Seven, to pay the costs of the litigation. The combined costs are estimated at $25 million.As part of its application, Nine is seeking to show ACE and Seven controlled the litigation. It has sought documents from Seven West Media commercial director Bruce McWilliam, Stokes, ACE, and Roberts-Smith’s legal team showing their communications about the case.
“It’s obviously spread over a long period, but it’s a very, very large number of emails,” Owens said. “Right from the start, there was that level of involvement in the nature of the case and its prosecution. But going beyond that, we now see that there is very regular communication crossing the lines between the Seven/ACE camps and the people representing Mr Roberts-Smith.”
“It’s quite plain that they have no legitimate forensic purpose ... and they are effectively undertaking a trawling exercise,” Young said. “They want to cast a dragnet.”
