Description

Bankruptcy proceedings against Brittany Higgins face a hurdle due to a technicality in Federal Court, potentially setting a precedent. The case stems from a defamation lawsuit by former senator Linda Reynolds, who Higgins defamed in social media posts. Reynolds initiated bankruptcy after Higgins didnt appeal the defamation loss. Higgins must cooperate with the trustee, who will assess her assets, including those in the Brittany Higgins Protective Trust, within months. Higgins was ordered to pay Reynolds $341,000 and legal costs after losing the defamation case. The bankruptcy proceeding could help Reynolds determine if Higgins has remaining funds from a multi-million dollar compensation payment.
