Phone records and Australian Federal Police documents will be examined in the weeks before the defamation trial brought by Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith, as lawyers attempt to gather more information about potential contact with witnesses.
Mr Roberts-Smith, 42, is suing
The Sydney Morning Herald,
The Age and
The Canberra Times over a series of stories published in 2018, which he says are defamatory because they portray him as someone who “broke the moral and legal rules of military engagement” and committed murder.
