Court is adjourned
Justice Lee has reserved his decision which he said he would make “as quickly as I can”.
He said he has “not an insignificant amount of additional material” to absorb and another matter to deal with first.
He will tell the parties early next week when he will be able to deliver his judgement, but it won’t be Monday or Tuesday.
“But I’ll let you know, I will try to give you as much notice as possible,” he said. “Believe me, there is a symmetry of interest [in delivering a judgement] as quickly as possible.”
The court has now adjourned.

A “stretch” to think $750 for two nights of sex workers and drugs was enough, court hears
Matthew Richardson, for Lehrmann, is presenting his final submissions.
He submits Auerbach’s evidence was weak.
Richardson said that the only evidence presented was that Seven paid for “two nights of prostitutes and illicit drug were covered by a $750 entry for pre production expenses”.
“That was two nights with him and Mr Auerbach with the drugs and the prostitutes, even the least worldly person in this room, which regrettably is probably me, Your Honour, that that is a stretch.”
