'David and Goliath' battle between Channel Seven and Spotlight journalist heats up  - as the network is accused of using 'scare tactics' against her

Sydney journalist Robert Ovadia abruptly dropped legal action against Seven following allegations of inappropriate conduct, just one month after he took the network to court in September.
