2GB’s Ray Hadley is heading back to court.
 
According to the Daily Telegraph the wife of a man convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage employee at his fish and chip shop has lost the $280,000 awarded to her in damages against the broadcaster with the case heading back to court for a retrial.
 
A jury found Ray Hadley guilty of defaming the wife of a convicted sex offender and damages were awarded.
 
Hadley and his employer, Harbour Radio Pty Ltd, appealed the jury’s decision and also the award of damages.
 
It was reported at the time Hadley had defamed Ms Ahmed – following on air comments Hadley made after her husband, Emran Ahmed who was convicted of aggravated indecent assault of a 17-year-old worker at their fish and chip shop in 2007.
 
Hadley has stood by his comments and refused to apologise.
