In further developments in the Underbelly “defamation” story….

TV Tonight now understands court action yesterday against Underbelly was neither Defamation nor Injunction proceedings, but an application from lawyers acting on behalf of former NSW police constable Wendy Hatfield to gain access to episodes of Underbelly.

The upcoming Nine series is based in part on a book loosely based on the Wood Royal Commission.

A Nine spokesperson told TV Tonight that the network has robustly defended any proposition that it in any way has any case to answer.

Justice Ian Harrison will hand down his decision on the application next Friday.

The third series is slated to air after Easter.
