Surprise court date for Higgins v Reynolds

The defamation case between Senator Linda Reynolds and her former staffer Brittany Higgins will make an early return to court.

That finding came following legal action Mr Lehrmann brought against Network 10 and journalist Lisa Wilkinson over a report on The Project program in 2021. Her claim for damages against Ms Higgins and Ms Sharaz will return to the WA Supreme Court on Tuesday — earlier than expected.“For three years I have endured intense public scrutiny, vilification, vile trolling and have been demonised as the villain in a story of a political cover-up I have always known to be untrue,” Senator Reynolds said after Justice Lee handed down his judgment.

In her own statement, Ms Higgins said she was sorry for the hurt suffered by her former boss and Ms Brown. “Senator Reynolds and Fiona Brown have also been hurt and for that, I am also sorry. My perceptions and feelings about what happened in the days and weeks after my rape are different from theirs.
