Nine has settled its dispute with former 60 Minutes producer Stephen Rice, who was dismissed from the show following the infamous Beirut saga.
Rice appointed lawyer John Laxon after he was the sole employee to lose his job, despite a review recommending against such.
“Stephen Rice and Nine Network Australia have resolved their dispute over Mr Rice’s departure from Nine on mutually agreed terms,” Laxon has told The Australian.
“No further comment will be made.”
Laxon previously acted for former Nine News chief Mark Llewellyn over the infamous Jessica Rowe “bone” affair and former reporter Christine Spiteri.
He is also understood to be representing journalist Amy Taeuber who was recently sacked by Seven Adelaide.

What a disgraceful and fraudulent cover-up.
A cover-up is a different thing altogether. When cases are settled out of court its common for both sides not to disclose details as part of their agreement.
