Lehrmann Faces Bankruptcy After Losing Appeal
Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Former political staffer Bruce Lehrmann faces a multi-million dollar bill after losing his appeal against a defamation judgment. The Full Court of the Federal Court dismissed his appeal, upholding the earlier ruling that he raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House in 2019. Lehrmanns lawyer expressed hope for a High Court appeal, while Network Ten welcomed the decision as a triumph for truth. Lehrmann has 28 days to apply for special leave to appeal in the High Court, potentially setting the stage for a third attempt to clear his name amid mounting legal costs and the prospect of bankruptcy.
