Secretary Department of Communities and Justice v Soulos [2026] NSWCA 185 – A Two-Minute Television Segment, a $1.39 Million Award and the Forensic Concession That Decided the Appeal
In Soulos [2026] NSWCA 185, the NSW Court of Appeal upheld a $1.39 million psychiatric injury award after a caseworker recognised her former client in a two-minute documentary segment, with neither publicly named. The result turned on a trial concession the employer could not undo on appeal. Partner Julie Bowker, Special Counsel Aristea Friedrich and Law Graduate Gabrielle Macready explain how the decision is a timely reminder that brief and indirect media exposure can generate substantial liability, and that how a matter is run can be as consequential as the underlying facts.
