Lehrmann's Rape Case: Full Court Delivers Decision
Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Bruce Lehrmann, a former political staffer, faces a critical court decision this Wednesday regarding his defamation lawsuit against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson. The case stems from an interview with Brittany Higgins on The Project in 2021, where Higgins alleged Lehrmann raped her in Parliament House in 2020. Justice Michael Lee previously found Higgins claims probable, but Lehrmann appealed, arguing the judge erred in concluding Ten and Wilkinson had legally justified the rape accusation. The Full Court of the Federal Court will now deliver its decision, with both sides disputing the definition of rape used in the initial ruling.
