Harrison, the former lover of the group’s CEO Tim Worner, has made various claims of bullying, mistreatment and illicit drug use against the network and its staff since December 2016.

The hearing in the NSW Supreme Court before Justice Robert McDougall was standing room only this morning as media and other parties jockeyed for a spot to hear the case where Seven was seeking a permanent injunction against Harrison discussing the matter while Harrison sought for the injunction, initially granted last week, to be dropped.

Hi TSII,

Thanks for your comment. We have clarified in the article to make it more clear The Daily Telegraph is seeking to lift the injunction.

At this stage, we would contend our article is still correct though. As The Daily Tele is published by Nationwide News – a subdivision of News Corp – News Corp is still very much involved.

If you have any further info though, please feel free to let us know.

Vivienne – Mumbrella
