Yesterday, the Federal Court published an affidavit from Taylor Auerbach, which detailed allegations the broadcaster paid for “illicit drugs and prostitutes” in a bid to secure an exclusive interview with Bruce Lehrmann.
This fresh evidence was brought by Network Ten in an application to reopen Mr Lehrmann’s defamation case.
Justice Michael Lee, who was due to deliver his judgment in the case today, instead agreed to hear the evidence.
Mr Auerbach is expected to appear in court within the hour.
