TV star Lisa Wilkinson has made an eye-watering $1.8 million costs demand to Network 10 following Bruce Lehrmann 's failed defamation battle
The high-profile legal matter returned to Sydney's Federal Court on Monday for a case management hearing as the costs battle continues between the parties. "As I understand it, Ms Wilkinson seeks an indemnity in respect of $1,815,000 worth of costs inclusive of GST, give or take a few cents," Justice Lee told the court.
Earlier this month, Justice Lee ordered Mr Lehrmann pay Network 10 and Ms Wilkinson's costs on an indemnity basis in relation to their successful truth defence, which covers up to 90 per cent of a legal bill.
