The Judge In The Geoffrey Rush Defamation Case Has To Put Himself In The Shoes Of A Daily Telegraph Reader
On Thursday afternoon, we will find out the result in one of Australia's biggest defamation showdowns in recent memory: Geoffrey Rush vs Nationwide News.
On Thursday Justice Michael Wigney will hand down his judgement after more than five months of deliberation. How will he reach his decision?Three things: Did the publication identify you? Was it published to another person? And did it convey a defamatory meaning?When he filed his lawsuit in December 2017, Rush alleged that the Daily Telegraph's articles suggested certain unfavourable things about him.
Rush also said the Telegraph suggested he was in fact lying when he said the STC had not told him the identity of the person who complained about him. “[The Telegraph] need to prove it’s more probable than not that their case is made out,” defamation law expert David Rolph told BuzzFeed News. Other witnesses testifying for Rush, including King Lear co-stars Nevin and Helen Buday, as well as director Neil Armfield, all said they saw nothing.
