A judge said a photo of Jean Nassif at a casino appeared to reflect that he was “living his life in Lebanon, apparently unrestricted by any health issues”.
While Nassif left Australia for Lebanon in late 2022 and has not returned, he had persevered in his defamation case against the Sydney broadcaster and radio station 2GB.
The judge said she was “not satisfied that if the proceedings are reinstated the applicant would likely return to prosecute them within an acceptable time”.“I’ve been waiting a long, long time to say what I can say now about Toplace and Jean Nassif,” Hadley said after Tuesday’s decision, adding that Nassif was “hiding in Lebanon”.Toplace is behind a series of troubled apartment projects in Sydney including in Canterbury and Parramatta.
Nassif “accepts that he is depicted in the photograph, and no evidence or submission was advanced to challenge the assertion”, Abraham said, although it was “not necessary to rely on this photograph to resolve these applications”. when the court ordered Nassif and two of his companies to pay $900,000 in security into court to cover the media parties’ legal costs in the event he lost the lawsuit.Nassif paid the first tranche of $300,000 on October 9 last year, two weeks after a 28-day deadline. Abraham noted the payment was made “one day before activating a self-executing order which would have dismissed the proceedings”.
