Court to determine who pays Bruce Lehrmann legal bill
The Federal Court reconvenes today to consider who will cover the cost in Bruce Lerman’s failed defamation trial against Network 10 and Lisa Wilkinson. Lerman sued over the 2021 interview with Brittany Higgins and was found, on the balance of probabilities, to have raped his former colleague at Parliament House. The legal bill for all parties is expected to be in the millions of dollars. Lumen has always maintained his innocence and is reported to be considering appealing Justice Michael Lee’s findings.
