Judge in Rush defamation trial throws out evidence from ‘Witness X’
Late evidence from a mystery witness in the Geoffrey Rush defamation trial will not be heard, the Federal Court has ruled.
In a judgment this morning, Justice Michael Wigney said he would not allow the affidavit from ‘Witness X’ to form part of a new defense for The Daily Telegraph.
A court order forbidding publication of the witnesses name and the specific allegations remains in place.
