The New South Wales Court of Appeal has dismissed Mark Latham's appeal against a previous defamation ruling brought by MP Alex Greenwich. The case originated from a 2023 legal challenge where Greenwich argued a derogatory social media post by Latham was defamatory. Latham had attempted to challenge the initial verdict, but the court ultimately upheld the finding of the trial judge. Whether this ruling brings a definitive end to the ongoing litigation between the two politicians remains to be seen as neither party has confirmed next steps.
