Bruce Lehrmann's Defamation Appeal Delayed to August 2025

The appeal follows a failed defamation case against Network Ten and journalist Lisa Wilkinson over allegations aired in 2021.

Bruce Lehrmann is appealing a Federal Court decision that dismissed his defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson.
The court has scheduled the appeal for August 2025, after initially planning for a March hearing.
Lehrmann's legal team includes an unnamed senior counsel who wishes to remain anonymous to avoid harassment.
The defamation case stemmed from a 2021 interview in which Brittany Higgins accused Lehrmann of rape, an allegation he denies.
The original criminal trial was abandoned due to juror misconduct, and no verdict was reached.
