Brittany Higgins will return to court for a continued cross-examination on Friday after being "unavailable" to take the stand this week.

The trial for former political staffer Bruce Lehrmann is continuing, with further witnesses being called to testify.

Lehrmann has pleaded not guilty to a single charge of sexual intercourse without consent and denies any sexual activity with Higgins.
