Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian’s former manager spent more than $1m
battling to overturn his convictions for defrauding his famous client, a court
has been told.

Titus Emanuel Day was jailed for at least two and a half years in November 2022
after a jury found him guilty of 34 fraud-related charges, including
misappropriating more than $620,000.

He successfully quashed his convictions on appeal last year and is due to face a
retrial in May 2025. The manager to the stars has continued to deny the
allegations against him.

Mr Day’s lawyers have filed an application to delay his retrial until the
Director of Public Prosecutions has compensated him for the legal bills he
incurred during the initial trial and appeal.

His barrister Thomas Woods told the NSW District Court on Monday the prosecution
had previously agreed to negotiate after conceding it should pay some of Mr
Day’s costs.

“That negotiation hasn’t proved fruitful,” he said.

The court was told the prosecution made an offer to Mr Day on Monday morning,
but it was not accepted.

Mr Woods said the initial trial and appeal cost his client well over $1m, but he
was only asking to recoup $1,093,240.44.

Crown prosecutor Katrina Mackenzie told the court the prosecution had offered to
pay Mr Day just under $300,000 in compensation.

She argued “the quantum sought has been continually changing” throughout the
negotiation process.

Ms Mackenzie asked for more time to consider the new costs bill put forward by
Mr Day’s legal team for “a large amount of money which will ultimately be paid
by the public purse.”

MacDougall. Picture: NewsWire / Nikki Short

The most recent total presented to the prosecution included “charges for the
accused’s civil matters” and other unrelated costs, Ms Mackenzie claimed.

The court was told Mr Day had changed representation during his protracted legal
battle, which complicated the financial analysis.

Mr Woods maintained it was “very important” that the costs dispute be resolved
before addressing any elements of Mr Day’s next legal battle.

“From my client’s perspective, unless adequate costs are paid, he’s not in a
position to defend himself at trial next year,” he said.

The parties will return to court later this week to discuss whether Judge Mark
Williams should order a temporary stay for Mr Day’s retrial until payment of
costs has been made.

The allegations stem from the years-long professional relationship between Mr
Day and Mr Sebastian.

Mr Day became Mr Sebastian’s manager in 2009 – six years after the musician rose
to fame by winning the inaugural season of Australian Idol.


Titus Day and Guy Sebastian were close friends when they worked together.

The pair became close friends but that ended eight years later when they had a
bitter falling out.

Mr Sebastian claimed he had found anomalies in his financial records, which he
blamed on his then-manager.

He launched legal proceedings against Mr Day to recoup the money he claimed he
was owed.

Mr Day hit back with a counterclaim in which he alleged he was the one owed
money by the award-winning musician.

Both men have continued to deny the allegations against them.
