Bankruptcy Case: Reynolds Seeks Higgins' Payout
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
Former political staffer Brittany Higgins bankruptcy case hits a snag, delaying efforts to track her two million dollar compensation payout. Linda Reynolds, a former Liberal Senator, seeks to recover over one million dollars in legal costs from Higgins, after successfully suing her for defamation. The court found some of Higgins social media posts damaged Reynolds reputation. The bankruptcy process is delayed due to an unusual method of serving the documents, given to Higgins lawyer instead of her personally, out of respect for her mental health. If Reynolds application is accepted, her legal team could investigate Higgins finances to determine how much of the payout remains and where it has been allocated. This situation follows a complex legal history for Higgins, including a separate defamation case where a Federal Court judge found she was raped by a former co-worker, Bruce Lehrmann, who denies the allegation and is appealing the finding. Higgins husband, David Sharaz, is also facing bankruptcy proceedings from Reynolds.
