The Federal Court has ordered Bruce Lehrmann to pay Network Ten 's costs in defending his failed defamation case over the interview with Brittany Higgins on The Project.

An order for indemnity costs involves an extra payment on top of the reasonable costs of running a case. Last month, the court found Mr Lehrmann did, on the balance of probabilities, rape Brittany Higgins at Parliament House in 2019, though there remain no criminal findings against him after his aborted trial in the ACT Supreme Court.
