Bruce Lehrmann has been ordered to pay $2m to Network Ten after his failed defamation case in what the former Liberal staffer’s lawyer said “might be the deal of the century”.
In a costs hearing before Justice Michael Lee on Thursday, Ten’s barrister, Zoe Graus, told the court Ten calculated its costs at the end of May were $3,668,420.83 but it was seeking a lump-sum costs order of $2m.
