The District Court in Sydney heard on Thursday that Rachelle Louise's case against the Telegraph, which was filed last year, will go to mediation in April. This may settle the dispute before trial.

In a separate case, Ms Louise is suing the Daily Mail in Australia over claims she is the "world's most deluded woman" and a former stripper.

Ms Louise has protested Gittany's innocence since he was sentenced last February to a minimum of 18 years in prison for murdering his fiancee Lisa Harnum by throwing her off the balcony of a Sydney highrise building.

She is suing the Daily Mail online over two stories published after his sentencing, which refer to her both as his "stripper girlfriend" and a "former stripper" who staged a "bizarre protest" outside Darlinghurst Court.

"A day in the life of world's 'most deluded' woman," said the second article. "Can she really believe balcony killer is innocent?

"Despite overwhelming evidence that 40-year-old Gittany had killed his fiancee, she continues to protest his innocence and has given two TV interviews in which she claimed there is no way he could have murdered Ms Harnum," the report said.

Ms Louise's legal team, led by experienced defamation barrister Roger Rasmussen, filed an amended statement of claim in the Daily Mail case on Thursday.

Ms Louise says the articles falsely claim that she is a stripper or a former stripper, as well as suggesting she is the "world's most deluded woman" and a "woman of loose morals".

She also claims the articles suggest she is "deluded because she believes ... Gittany is innocent".

District Court Judge Judith Gibson has previously ruled that Ms Louise could not argue that the articles conveyed that she was "stupid" or a "ridiculous person".

Ms Louise is seeking compensatory and aggravated damages, claiming that her "hurt and upset has been increased by her knowledge that the imputations are false".

The Daily Mail case returns to court on March 12.
