A noted surgeon named NSW Australian of the Year has claimed an ongoing campaign of over 100 articles by Nine amounted to harassment and destroyed his reputation.
In the Federal Court on Tuesday, Dr Munjed Al Muderis sought an urgent hearing for his defamation case against the Nine Network in a bid to be swiftly vindicated.
His barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC told the court her client had been an "Australian migrant success story" moving here from Iraq and becoming a highly qualified doctor who had performed over 9000 surgeries and become president of the Iraqi Medical Association.
