Description

Bruce Lehrmann has lost his Federal Court appeal to overturn a defamation ruling that found he raped former colleague Brittany Higgins in Parliament House six years ago. The full court upheld the dismissal of Lehrmann's multi-million dollar lawsuit against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson, with the court finding he was aware Higgins had not consented but proceeded anyway. Lehrmann's legal team has indicated they may attempt to take the case to the High Court.
