Seven Network

Seven is facing another workplace lawsuit by a former journalist, with former Spotlight reporter Amelia Saw accusing the TV network of general protections breaches under the Fair Work Act.

A judge has questioned whether a Jarryd Hayne supporter who won a $35,000 defamation judgment against Seven should tie the court's resources up in an appeal.

Axed Seven Network reporter Robert Ovadia has dropped a lawsuit against his former boss, just days after the court heard that 13 women came forward with complaints following his dismissal.

Seven Network has told a court 13 women have come forward with complaints about television reporter Robert Ovadia since his dismissal in June.

Former Seven News reporter Robert Ovadia has filed a complaint with the Fair Work Commission over his sacking, which alleges the intentional infliction of harm by the network and its news director. 

A judge has ordered Seven West-owned publication The West Australian to pay a former public servant $180,000 in damages over an article about an allegation of fraud that had “a sensationalist overtone”.

Seven Network has partially succeeded in appealing a decision that revoked its rights to the '7NOW' trade mark for non-use, with the Full Court finding the broadcaster used the mark on its news promotion website.

Convenience chain 7-Eleven has defeated Seven Network's challenge to its bid to trade mark '7-Select' for a new brand of products targeting younger shoppers, with an IP Australia delegate finding consumer confusion was not likely.

A judge has questioned the relevance of an ex-Seven producer’s "sordid" evidence that the network rewarded him after using company funds to buy sex workers for the accused rapist Bruce Lehrmann, saying both sides had made strong arguments against his and Brittany Higgins’ credibility. 

A judge hearing Bruce Lehrmann’s reopened defamation trial has expressed concern about evidence regarding non-parties to the lawsuit, including a solicitor who is said to have acted for Seven, saying "allegations are being thrown around like a gatling gun”.
