The federal court has ordered Bruce Lehrmann to pay most of Ten’s legal costs from his failed defamation suit against the TV network and Project host Lisa Wilkinson because he brought the case on a “knowingly false premise”.
Justice Michael Lee on Friday said Lehrmann should pay almost all of Ten’s and Wilkinson’s costs on an indemnity basis, except when it came to the failed qualified privilege defence argument, where the network would receive regular costs.
