Legal threats from Battered by the System, The Australian, 8 June, 2000.

Psychiatrist in the story, Brent Waters, a favourite of the Family Court, Legal Aid and the Department of Community Services, threatened to sue the paper.

And offered to word the apology for us.

He is well entrenched in the legal fraternity of Sydney.

We won.

Here is some of the paperwork. More as it is found.

News Limited's house lawyer, the much loved Brian Gallagher, who was involved in writing the defamation laws and was a complete master, has since passed away.

Our success hinged on one paragraph in a 200 plus page Supreme Court judgement.
