Judge calls sudden hearing in Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case - as it's revealed Lisa Wilkinson is suing Network 10 for legal fees

Daily Mail  

The judge presiding over Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case has suddenly called a hearing - the day after it was revealed Lisa Wilkinson launched a civil suit against Network 10. Wilkinson incurred those fees because she hired her own team of defamation specialists to defend her in Mr Lehrmann's case, rather than using Thomson Geer - the firm Network 10 had on retainer. The case management hearing came one day following reports that Lisa Wilkinson is suing the network for more than $700,000 worth of legal fees Since the matter relates to a case which is currently before Justice Lee in the Federal Court, it is unclear why Wilkinson's legal team filed a separate matter in the NSW Supreme Court. Wilkinson's legal fees case against Network 10 is scheduled to begin in the NSW Supreme Court on November 3.
