ARN Media has settled Kyle Sandilands’ claim for $12.09 million, while Jackie "O" Henderson still seeks at least $82 million.
- Radio host Jackie "O" Henderson is proceeding with her $82 million wrongful dismissal claim against ARN Media after her former co-host settled. Her legal team is pushing to maintain the October 12 trial date.

- Justice Stewart indicated the 10-day hearing timeline remains flexible as trial preparations proceed for Henderson. Her team maintains they are "working expeditiously" to ensure evidence is prepared for the October showdown.
