While it seemed Senator Linda Reynolds and her former staffer Brittany Higgins were headed for trial in their defamation fight, a new hope has emerged.
Brittany Higgins claimed she was raped and a judge recently ruled in a civil trial that it was true. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Sharon Smith “I now appeal for Senator Reynolds to settle her litigation against Brittany, a rape victim, by agreeing to disagree and putting all of this behind them.Outside court following that directions hearing, Senator Reynolds’ barrister Martin Bennett said if there was going to be a settlement it would have happened quickly but it had not eventuated.
In her own statement, Ms Higgins said she was sorry for the hurt suffered by her former boss and Ms Brown. “I deeply regret we have not yet found common ground. I hope we can resolve our differences with a better understanding of each other’s experience.”
