Brittany Higgins declared bankrupt after Linda Reynolds wins defamation case

Brittany Higgins has been declared bankrupt in a Western Australian court following an application by Linda Reynolds, her former boss and a former defence minister. Reynolds initiated the bankruptcy proceedings in October after winning a defamation case against Higgins. The bankruptcy ruling brings Reynolds closer to understanding the whereabouts of Higgins' $2.4 million compensation payout. The legal action stems from a defamation suit filed by Reynolds against Higgins. The outcome marks a significant development in the ongoing legal saga between the two women.
