Former Liberal staffer Bruce Lehrmann is asking a court to compel the company behind the Brittany Higgins documentary *Silenced* to provide internal material, including raw footage. According to multiple reports, the request is challenged by the documentary producers or their representatives, who argue against handing over the requested material.
Lehrmann’s legal team says the footage is relevant to concerns about a fair trial. The bid centers on whether the court can order production of documentary materials that were not previously disclosed and whether those materials can be used in the ongoing legal proceedings. The articles report that the court considers competing arguments over disclosure, confidentiality, and the purpose for which the material is sought.
The dispute is presented as part of Lehrmann’s broader court fight, with attention on what documentary records may be accessible through legal processes. The reports agree that the case involves a request for internal documentary content connected to Higgins and that the matter is currently contested in court.
