Lehrmann OK to Appeal

Share:

The Federal Court has cleared Bruce Lehrmann to proceed with his appeal against his failed defamation case.

In 2022, a criminal rape trial in the A.C.T. Supreme Court collapsed.

He then sued over broadcast content that he says defamed him, but lost the defamation case against Lisa Wilkinson and Channel Ten.

He appealed, but the TV network wanted him to pay a security of costs before proceedings could begin.

Today, a Federal Court judge ruled against the enforcement.

The case is back in court next month for a management procedural hearing…  the appeal itself is not due until March next year, at the earliest.
