Network Ten and former Project host Lisa Wilkinson have argued that Bruce Lehrmann should be responsible for covering the highest possible legal expenses related to his unsuccessful defamation lawsuit against them. The court heard that Lehrmann had declined an early settlement offer, which would have allowed him to 'walk away' from the case. This decision has been described by the network as 'deliberately wicked and calculated'. Network Ten has also refuted claims that it should cover unnecessary costs amassed during the defense.
