Lehrmann Has Become a ‘National Joke’, Court Told

  • Bruce Lehrmann is appealing a defamation ruling in the Federal Court of Australia, claiming he was identifiable from an interview with Brittany Higgins on The Project, which led to defamation.
  • Lehrmann argues he was denied procedural fairness because Justice Lee's findings differed from the alleged nature of the rape discussed by Ten and Wilkinson.
  • Justice Lee referred to the case as a 'cause celebre' and an 'omnishambles.'
  • Lehrmann's previous criminal trial over the alleged sexual assault of Higgins was aborted in October 2022, and charges were dropped due to concerns about Higgins' mental health.
