Izzo pix taunt plaintiff

Exhibits in Styles v Clayton Utz released for publication by the NSW Supreme Court ... Pin-up boy Luis Izzo ... Allegation that pix used to taunt and victimise plaintiff ... Life at big law 

Luis Izzo: framed photo exhibitFive grainy, poor-quality photos have been released for publication by the NSW Supreme Court. 

They are exhibits in the sex discrimination and victimisation case brought by solicitor Bridgette Styles against her former employer, Clayton Utz. 

Styles claims she was taunted by other employees of the firm following a brief relationship with solicitor Luis Izzo.

Photos of Izzo were left in the vacinity of her office and in the office of another solicitor, Abraham Ashe.

One was a single framed shot of Izzo, now a senior associate of Clayton Utz.

Another consisted of a montage of pictures of Izzo, with indistinct captions, posted on a wall close to Styles' desk.  

There was also a strange photo of President Obama with his fingers showing the widely understood gesture for the cockold. 

There was also a large photo of the actor Ben Stiller from the film Zoolander. Apparently, this was a reference to Izzo's alluring qualities.  

These exhibits were released by Justice Lucy McCallum on Monday (September 5).

HH's judgment on various interlocutory matters is embargoed until Tuesday (September 13).

On the same day there will be a hearing into a third-party application by the publisher of Justinian for access to an affidavid sworn by Styles' solicitor Bill Kalantzis. 

We'll keep you posted. 

There is also an accompanying defamation action brought by Styles against the Clayton Utz partners. 

It arises from a communication Izzo had with the head of the firm's workplace group, Joe Catanzariti.

The sex discrimination case was cross-vested from the Federal Court with the intention that it could be heard in the Supreme Court with the defamation case.
