A judge is handing down his verdict in Bruce Lehrmann's defamation trial

Bruce Lehrmann will learn today if his defamation case over an interview with Brittany Higgins on The Project has been successful. The final judgment in Lehrmann's case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson will be delivered at the Federal Court in Sydney at 10.15am — more than three months after the five-week trial ended, and four days after the final hearing of additional evidence last week.

A judgment in the bitterly fought defamation battle had been due to be delivered on April 4, but this was postponed when Ten successfully reopened the case to give further evidence. In two further days of hearings, Justice Michael Lee heard allegations that Lehrmann had improperly provided confidential evidence to Channel Seven ahead of an exclusive interview on its Spotlight program.
