There is no evidence that Lisa Wilkinson can’t pay her own bills for her legal defence against Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation suit as they come in, a court has heard.
Lisa Wilkinson is battling with Network 10 over her legal bills and whether they should be paid now or after their defamation suit with Bruce Lehrmann ends.
The court heard on Friday morning that Network 10 had accepted it was liable to pay Ms Wilkinson’s “properly incurred” costs.The court heard Network 10 argues her legal bill should be settled at the conclusion of the proceedings, which are due to begin with a four-week trial on November 20. Ms Wilkinson hired high-profile barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC and Gillis Delaney Lawyers partner Anthony Jefferies earlier this year, instead of opting to use Network 10’s retained law firm Thomson Geer.
The court heard Ms Wilkinson argues that her legal costs should be paid by Network 10 as they are incurred. Barrister Zoe Graus, acting for Network 10, said her client may seek to move the matter to the Federal Court.“On the question of expedition, there’s no evidence to suggest that Ms Wilkinson will be unable to pay her costs in the Federal Court, there’s been no evidence to suggest that the costs incurred to date have in fact been paid or incurred,” Ms Graus said.She asked for the matter to return to court in two weeks so that her client could put on a response.
