Lisa Wilkinson victorious in blockbuster legal bill battle (Podcast)

Описание: Lisa Wilkinson has won the battle with the Ten Network over her million-dollar legal bills, although exactly how much it will be required to pay rests on who wins the defamation case brought by Bruce Lehrmann – a verdict not expected until at least next month.

The Federal Court heard Wilkinson’s long-held position had been “vindicated” with a finding by judge Michael Lee that it was “reasonable” for her to engage her own legal representation in the defamation proceedings.

Wilkinson spent the previous two days arguing that Ten’s interests in the defamation case were not aligned with her own, and that the network had tried to save face by not revealing publicly that it had endorsed and then legally signed off on her Logies speech, while she alone was left with the blame for derailing Mr Lehrmann’s rape trial.

On Wednesday, Ten was ordered to pay her legal bills. Her overall costs claim has been stood over until Justice Lee hands down his full defamation judgment in March or early April.
