Hollywood actor Rebel Wilson, who wants to take her defamation saga to the high court of Australia, plans to argue her career was on an “upwards trajectory” before she was defamed by Bauer Media.
They will also argue the court of appeal was wrong in concluding Wilson needed to prove economic loss by showing a project had been “taken off the shelf”.
If her application is successful, Wilson’s fight could end up in Canberra before a full bench of the high court.
On Wednesday, Wilson’s lawyers lodged an application for special leave to appeal with Australia’s highest court.
