Lawyer Justin Quill says Monday’s court ruling is an “unmitigated disaster” for Bruce Lehrmann.

Mr Quill represented Channel 10 during the much-publicised defamation trial, after Mr Lehrmann originally launched legal action in 2021 following a TV story which claimed Lehrmann raped former political staffer Brittany Higgins.

The veteran defamation lawyer believes Mr Lehrmann hoped this country’s defamation laws would benefit him.

“He was thinking ‘I wanted to make money from this and reinvent history’,” Mr Quill claimed in an interview with Jacqui Felgate.

“He was banking on Australia’s defamation laws (helping him). It’s an unmitigated disaster for Bruce Lehrmann.

Leading investigative journalist also joined 3AW Drive, saying Bruce Lehrmann “wasted the court’s time” during the lengthy defamation trial process.
