A court date has been 

The radio star, 51, had her KIIS FM breakfast radio show axed in March after she .

Now, she is set to kick off her court battle against ARN on October 12 after launching a Fair Work claim against the network in April. 

An interlocutory hearing - a proceeding that focuses on resolving specific procedural issues - will be held on August 24.

The radio host's former employer is then required to file an affidavit from their chosen expert on August 6, reported The Daily Telegraph.

Henderson launched a Fair Work claim against ARN in April after her radio contract was .

She has alleged that ARN failed to provide her a safe workplace and minimise the psychosocial risks after she made several complaints against Sandilands.

Her camp confirmed this week they will continue with the court case, despite Sandilands, 55, recently settling with ARN for $12.09 million.

Henderson's bid for an $82 million payout is now facing renewed scrutiny, with insiders she could walk away with less than Sandilands if she settles.

Sandilands' reduced settlement, which includes $1.5 million in advertising contra, has reset expectations around what ARN may be willing to pay as Henderson continues her Federal Court fight.

The shock jock's payout is understood to reflect roughly a year's salary under his contract, which reportedly included a multimillion-dollar base fee plus a $1 million sign-on bonus and a $3 million one-off fee.

Henderson's contract with ARN may not include such add-ons, meaning that if she does settle, her payout would more likely land between $7.5 million and $10 million.
