Murphy V Nationwide News Pty Ltd (No 2)Federal Court of Australia
Judgment Date:
2017-07-11
Abstract:
A high-profile Sydney lawyer has successfully obtained an order striking out the whole of the plea of contextual truth contained in the amended defence of the respondents, newspaper publisher and author. The Federal Court of Australia found that the respondents' acknowledgement that the lawyer might have had another purpose or purposes, with the possibility that such other purpose might have been legitimate, tends to reinforce the need for the respondents to provide proper particularisation of the inappropriateness which they alleged.
