Judge rules affidavit from Macquarie Bank’s James Hooke is central to the question of whether barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC can act for Porter in defamation case
Christian Porter’s lawyers have lost their bid to block a last-minute affidavit from Macquarie Bank managing director James Hooke which the former attorney general’s lawyer’s argued could “derail” his high-stakes defamation bid against the ABC.
Monday is the first of a three-day hearing into whether Porter’s high-profile
Sydney barrister, Sue Chrysanthou SC, should be stopped from acting for the former attorney general in his case against the national broadcaster and journalist Louise Milligan.
