Description

Bruce Lehrmanns appeal in the Federal Court has been dismissed, upholding his defamation judgment. The court now finds, on balance of probabilities, that he raped Brittany Higgins, with the appeal judges concluding he was aware of her lack of consent. Lehrmann lost on all four grounds of his appeal, including claims of procedural unfairness and errors in burden of proof. The court also considered additional details supporting Higgins account, further solidifying their position. Despite significant costs and debt, Lehrmanns lawyer, Zali Burrows, stated he is considering appealing to the High Court.
