Wilkinson is suing Network Ten in a different court over dispute about more than $700,000 in legal costs in current case
Lawyers for Lisa Wilkinson and Network Ten will cooperate in defence of a defamation claim brought by Bruce Lehrmann following a dispute between their clients over legal costs.Lawyers for Lisa Wilkinson and Network Ten will cooperate in defence of a defamation claim brought by Bruce Lehrmann following a dispute between their clients over legal costs.
Federal court justice Michael Lee on Tuesday asked why the costs dispute had been lodged in a separate court, rather than in his court, given it could complicate the matters he was considering.“I just do not understand why, unless there is some misapprehension about the way federal jurisdiction operates, I’m not sure why a decision was made to commence a proceeding in another court,” he said.
Sue Chrysanthou SC, who is representing Wilkinson, said the costs dispute had the potential to complicate the position of both her and her solicitors, and Lee himself, if it were to be heard in the federal court. Matt Collins KC, representing Network Ten, agreed and said the two legal teams were taking a cooperative approach to defending Lehrmann’s defamation claim.
