Summary
Ben Roberts-Smith, a decorated war veteran, awaits a ruling on Friday regarding his appeal against findings that he is a war criminal, after a 2023 judgment by Justice Anthony Besanko upheld allegations made by journalist Nick McKenzie. The appeal, heard over 10 days in February 2024, includes claims of a miscarriage of justice due to McKenzie allegedly obtaining privileged legal strategy details. Roberts-Smith contends that this breach may have influenced the trial’s outcome, while McKenzie argues he was unaware of the information’s privileged nature.
