Decorated Australian soldier Ben Roberts-Smith allegedly threatened to sue his ex-wife if she breached a confidentiality agreement while speaking to lawyers acting in his defamation case, a court has heard.His ex-wife will give evidence about allegations of witness intimidationMr Roberts-Smith is suing three former Fairfax newspapers, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and The Canberra Times, as well as three journalists over a series of 2018 articles.
Mr Roberts-Smith denies the specific events mentioned in the stories took place, while the media companies claim they are able to justify the imputations. Mr Roberts-Smith's barrister, Bruce McClintock QC, later said he was "simply not in a position" to waive the confidentiality agreement, and also rejected the classification of the correspondence as a threat."It was simply a requirement that she obey an agreement she entered into in February this year, only two or three months ago."
Mr Owens insisted Ms Roberts's evidence will be "carefully limited" so as to relate to matters directly relevant to the case, including allegations of witness intimidation and covert communication with witnesses by Mr Roberts-Smith.
I’d comment, but he might sue me.
I will never get over how small his head is in relation to his body. lol.
“I love the smell of fear in the morning.”
My suspicions about him years ago has been vindicated . Always trust your gut instinct about people . I feel so sorry for the ex wife.Misogyny rewards women who reinforce the status quo and punishes those who don’t. The boys club rewarded him immensely.
Don't all innocent people threaten to sue ex-wives?
Surprised he disnt just shoot her then dangle his medals at police
More importantly how is the alpbc handling their own legal matters at the moment?
He's a bad egg, nasty too
Wow….real piece of work.
So you mean: “Vindictive ex wife looks to spill secrets from couples marriage”
Good on him, give these Sheila's an inch and they'll take a mile.
