Fairfax Media lost its appeal against defamation suit brought by international cricketer Chris Gayle for allegedly being exposed to a mbadage therapist.
The NSW Court of Appeal has also today dismissed a counter claim by the West Indies drummer for his "grossly inadequate" compensation of $ 300,000.
In October 2017, a NSW Supreme Court jury ruled in favor of Gayle, who sued Fairfax Media for defamation over articles alleging that he had exposed himself to Leanne Russell.
The four jurors found that Fairfax had not established that Gayle had been exposed in the team locker room during a training session in Sydney during the 2006 FIFA World Cup ™. world 2015.
In her appeal, Fairfax baderted that she had not benefited from a fair trial because the judge had been perfectly justified in releasing the jury and ordering a new trial to be held after that Gayle's lawyer had launched a "full fledged attack" on the credibility of his closing speech.
