Bruce Lehrmann Faces $200,000 Hurdle in Defamation Appeal

Lehrmann must provide security payment to proceed with appeal against Network Ten over rape allegations.

Bruce Lehrmann is appealing a court decision that found he raped Brittany Higgins and lost a defamation case against Network Ten.
Network Ten is demanding Lehrmann pay $200,000 in security to cover legal costs if his appeal fails.
Lehrmann was ordered to pay $2 million in costs to Network Ten following the defamation case loss.
The appeal challenges the court's acceptance of Network Ten's truth defense in the defamation case.
Lehrmann is seeking a stay on the $2 million costs order to avoid potential bankruptcy.
