"The last week or so have been personally distressing for not only me but my family and friends, as civil proceedings making serious allegations have been publicly aired, and certain media have followed me on a personal pre-planned trip to the other side of the world," Hayne said in the statement.

"I was not given any notice of these proceedings prior to any media reports.

"I confirm that I unequivocally and vehemently deny the allegations made against me and I will be vigorously defending the matter.

"As everyone should understand, I cannot publicly discuss anything relating to this matter as it is now the subject of legal proceedings in the United States."
