The former Spotlight producer Taylor Auerbach suffered substantial distress, embarrassment and hurt after Seven breached a non-disparagement clause, he has claimed in a lawsuit filed against the media company in the federal court.
Auerbach worked at the network for nearly five years, during which he was instrumental in securing an interview with former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann, including purchasing $1,000 in services from a Thai masseuse for Lehrmann on the Seven credit card.
