Dezfouli v Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network (No 8)

The applicant, Mr. Dezfouli, brought a complaint of disability discrimination against the respondent, Justice Health and Forensic Mental Health Network, which was declined by the President of the Anti-Discrimination Board on the basis that it lacked in substance. Mr. Dezfouli sought leave to proceed with the complaint, arguing that it was fair and just to do so.

The court found that the complaint was unlikely to succeed and that there had been an unreasonable delay in bringing the complaint.
