Appeal court rejects 'Lawyer X' Nicola Gobbo's compensation claim
In short:
The Court of Appeal has thrown out a compensation bid from former defence barrister Nicola Gobbo.
Ms Gobbo was seeking at least $800,000 in damages after claiming that Victoria Police officers exploited her vulnerabilities and distress due to her close ties to gangland figures.
Appeal court justices refused Ms Gobbo leave to appeal and ordered her to pay the state's legal costs.
