The company hopes to use the Sandilands and Bouchet affidavits, which are understood to include details about the breakdown between KIIS FM\u2019s two biggest stars, in its defence against Henderson\u2019s claim.<\/p>\n Sandilands\u2019 lawyers opposed ARN\u2019s interlocutory application to use the documents, but did not appear at Friday\u2019s hearings. A letter from instructing solicitors Johnson Winter Slattery signalled his team\u2019s opposition to ARN\u2019s application.<\/p>\n But on Friday, Stewart ruled that the affidavits were not subject to an obligation not to be used in other proceedings because Sandilands\u2019 team had not been compelled by the court to produce them. He pointed to the fact that Sandilands had signed a deed of release settling his dispute with ARN on the same day as evidence that both affidavits had been produced voluntarily.<\/p>\n Related Article \u201cThere is no explanation as to why the affidavits were nevertheless filed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Lawyers for Henderson appeared in court but did not oppose ARN\u2019s application.<\/p>\n ARN terminated Sandilands\u2019 contract in mid-March, following the expiry of a two-week deadline it had set for the controversial broadcaster to fix his \u201cserious misconduct\u201d against Henderson, after the pair in February had an on-air bust-up which reduced her to tears.<\/p>\n Sandilands\u2019 settlement with the company last month, which included $12.09 million in cash, paves the way for him to return to the airwaves with a new subscription-based breakfast show, Kyle Sandilands Live.<\/p>\n As part of the settlement, ARN will provide his new venture with an additional $1.5 million worth of advertising services on its partner platforms over three years, while receiving 19.9 per cent of any revenue it generates. Sandilands is barred from working with ARN\u2019s direct competitors until March 2027.<\/p>\n Sandilands has already begun poaching staff from his old ARN program ahead of the solo show\u2019s launch next month. This week, KIIS FM producer Jaimee Blazquez was announced as the executive producer of the new show. In May, Dean Royston and Alfie Laguzza, formerly of KIIS, also joined Sandilands\u2019 new program. Mary Madigan, previously a senior culture reporter at News.com.au, will also be working with Sandilands.<\/p>\n The show, which promises to be \u201cuncensored\u201d, will launch on a new app that costs users $99 a year. On Friday, the shock jock released a trailer for tell-all docuseries At Home with Kyle, which will go live next week.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s finally time to let everyone know what actually really happened,\u201d Sandilands said in the trailer.<\/p>\n \u201cThis isn\u2019t a taking sides thing. I\u2019ll always love her. She\u2019s like a sister to me. I wish her the best,\u201d he said of Henderson.<\/p>\n The Business Briefing newsletter delivers major stories, exclusive coverage and expert opinion.
