Higgins said she was not a party to the proceedings and was at a distinct disadvantage to be making submissions at this late stage. “In the context of a serious challenge to the honesty and accuracy of Ms Higgins’ account of the events of the night in question, the potential that her perceptive and recollective abilities may have been affected other than by alcohol and trauma is an issue that she would have wished to explore,” the submission said.
An AFP note in the document - which was a master chronology prepared by Lehrmann’s lawyers - said: “I also have concerns from info I heard that this may have happened before or could happen again. . Paul – we need to speak to a range of people. Security staff cleaners may have info.”
