Court hears final submissions
A day of oral submissions in Australian biologist Jeremy Griffith and mountaineer Tim Macartney-Snape’s defamation action against the ABC and Reverend David Millikan concluded yesterday in the NSW Supreme Court.
This followed the filing of detailed written submissions from both sides regarding the defamatory Four Corners program broadcast in April 1995.
A full courtroom heard counsel for the defendants, Bret Walker SC, then counsel for the plaintiffs, Kieran Smark SC, addressing Justice David Kirby on particular aspects of the case.
At the conclusion of addresses, Justice Kirby reserved his judgment.
