Good afternoon. Bruce Lehrmann is intending to sue the ACT government over alleged flaws in his prosecution over allegations he sexually assaulted Brittany Higgins.

The findings of an inquiry into the prosecution were published on Wednesday night by the Australian. The inquiry head, Walter Sofronoff, found there were serious flaws in the way the case was handled by Shane Drumgold SC, the ACT’s DPP.
