Court rules 'no reasonable basis' for $2.3m lawsuit against SA premier

The South Australian Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit against Premier Peter Malinauskas, determining there is no reasonable basis for the $2.3 million claims made by former MP Annabel Digance and her husband.

The Supreme Court of South Australia recently dismissed a significant lawsuit filed by former MP Annabel Digance and her husband, Greg Digance, against the state's Premier, Peter Malinauskas. The litigation, amounting to $2.3 million, stemmed from claims made by Ms. Digance that Malinauskas had orchestrated a 'malicious prosecution' against her in an effort to damage her reputation. This followed a series of charges the couple faced related to allegations of blackmail, which were ultimately dropped. Justice Graham Dart criticized the basis of the lawsuit, stating there was no reasonable ground to support the claims of misfeasance.
