Breaking Down the Bruce Lehrmann Appeal: Aaron McDonald on 6PR Live with Oliver Peterson

Founding Director Aaron McDonald appeared on 6PR Perth Live with Oliver Peterson to discuss Bruce Lehrmann being given the green light to proceed with his appeal.

Earlier this year, Mr Lehrmann was ordered to pay the Respondents’ costs in the sum of $2 million, following his unsuccessful defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson.

Now with Mr Lehrmann seeking to appeal the decision, Network Ten sought to have Mr Lehrmann pay security for their costs of the appeal into the Court.

Security for costs is common in appeal proceedings where there are reasonable concerns the appellant may not be able to pay the costs of the proceedings.
