A bitter boundary dispute spanning decades has finally been resolved in court. The legal battle between two pensioners centered around a disputed quarter-acre of land, causing financial and emotional distress for both parties. The court ruled in favor of one of the neighbors, awarding them the contested area.
In the fallout from Bruce Lehrmann’s failed defamation lawsuit against Lisa Wilkinson, a new battle is brewing between Wilkinson and Ten Network over her million-dollar legal costs. The Federal Court previously ruled that Wilkinson was entitled to brief her own legal team, led by Sue Chrysanthou, SC, rather than Ten’s team. This opened the door for Ten to reimburse Wilkinson’s legal bills under an indemnity that covers costs incurred within reason. However, both parties disagree on the precise amount Ten is liable to pay. Wilkinson alleges that certain costs incurred during the proceedings were her sole responsibility, while Ten maintains that these costs related to issues where their interests aligned, such as the central defense of truth. With Lehrmann’s financial situation hindering his ability to cover costs, the outcome of this latest legal battle remains uncertain.
