| Chinese-Australian businessman Chau Chak Wing has been awarded $280,000 in damages including interest after he won his Federal Court defamation case against The Sydney Morning Herald over an online article linking him to a US bribery scandal, in a decision that will be appealed by the publisher.
In a judgment delivered on Friday, Federal Court Justice Michael Wigney said the October 2015 article by former Asia Pacific editor John Garnaut adopted a "sneering and deprecating" tone and rejected the Herald's defence of qualified privilege relating to publications in the public interest.
