“Adele’s story is important public interest journalism and Australians deserve to know the findings of her investigation.” It followed Wednesday’s judgement by the NSW court of appeal that the supreme court did not have power to make its initial document discovery order on 13 May which said 60 Minutes should hand over a draft copy of the story.
Bell said “no such power, jurisdiction or authority” for “preliminary discovery against a party or parties who were already defendants to proceedings” existed in law.Last month Ajaka won a court order at the eleventh hour preventing the broadcast of the program and the publication of any subsequent articles in the Nine papers.
