Former Defence Minister Linda Reynolds is set to launch fresh legal action targeting Brittany Higgins’ trust fund that protects what remains of her $2.4 million compensation payout.
The Liberal Senator, who has warned Brittany Higgins that she will be “regrettably” forced to proceed to a defamation trial to prove there was never a cover-up of her alleged rape , is set to launch the legal application in Perth on Monday morning.
Her legal team are seeking to probe claims that following the settlement, Ms Higgins took Mr Sharaz on a holiday to the Maldives, rented a house on the Gold Coast, and then set up a discretionary investment trust in February.
Senator Reynolds — Ms Higgins’ former boss — is suing both Ms Higgins and her partner David Sharaz for defamation over social media posts on Twitter and Instagram. “Please advise as a matter of urgency your client’s intentions in respect of her travel to France and your availability to confer in respect of our client’s proposed application.”
