More information about possible defamation action from Bruce Lehrmann from The Australian:
Mr Lehrmann, now living in Tasmania, is understood to be giving “strong consideration” to filing lawsuits against several media companies, Twitter identities, and Mr Drumgold. Those in the firing line include Ms Wilkinson personally; the producers of The Project, Roving Enterprises, owned by comedian Rove McManus; and Network Ten and its parent company Paramount....
The ABC is likely to be sued by Mr Lehrmann over comments during the National Press Club appearance in February by Ms Higgins and Grace Tame, as well as the content of various news and current affairs programs.
Several newspapers, including The Australian, may also be issued with concerns notices.
Other possible targets include “eminent individuals” who tweeted or shared the emotional speech Ms Higgins made outside the ACT Supreme Court in October after Chief Justice Lucy McCallum aborted the trial over juror misconduct.
Media outlets who ran the speech in full or those parts of it that went to the truth of Ms Higgins’ allegations are in the frame.
Mr Lehrmann is also considering action against Mr Drumgold over his press conference last Friday, in which he withdrew the charges against Mr Lehrmann, but reiterated his belief that there were “reasonable prospects” for a conviction.
Mr Lehrmann is understood to be separately considering lodging a formal professional complaint against Mr Drumgold over those remarks, which have drawn criticism from senior legal figures for “simultaneously withdrawing a criminal prosecution in the court and then trying to continue it in the media”.
Kay, I'm sure all mothers would agree with you. The cost of sueing is enormous. With the large pockets of those backing "the handbag Brigade" and those who have publicly supported Brittany despite the fact that they should have remained silent, one would not be sure of success. The legal system is letting every Australian down when it is glaringly obvious that Bruce has not been considered innocent until proven guilty. Why on earth have these people not been disciplined at the very least?
