Evidence from a number of witnesses did nothing to corroborate Eryn Jean Norvill’s version of events, court hears
The Daily Telegraph’s appeal against a judge’s decision ordering it to pay Geoffrey Rush $2.9m over a series of defamatory articles is a “distinctively over-egged pudding”, lawyers for the Oscar-winning actor have said.
On Tuesday Rush’s barrister in the appeal, Bret Walker Sc, told the federal court in Sydney that the “awkward reality” was that the evidence of the newspaper’s star witness, Eryn Jean Norvill, had been contradicted by a number of her colleagues.
