Justice Michael Lee relied on an “arguably archaic” definition of consent when he found Bruce Lehrmann was “reckless in his indifference” to Brittany Higgins’ consent, Lisa Wilkinson has argued in fresh submissions in the Lehrmann defamation appeal.
Lehrmann, a former Liberal staffer, has appealed Lee’s April 2024 judgement that he was not defamed on four grounds by Network Ten and Wilkinson when they broadcast an interview with Higgins in 2021.
