Brittany Higgins will launch a compensation claim against former Morrison government minister Linda Reynolds – her boss at the time of her alleged rape – in coming weeks, as the former staffer calls for justice system reform.
In a statement, Reynolds said she was contacted by law firm Blumers in March of a “civil claim by Ms Higgins against me and other parties”, and that the claims are yet to be filed.
“Blumers advised me on Friday that their client intends to progress the civil claim this month,” Reynolds said.
