FISHER

v

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA & ORS

[2024] HCASL 59
M86/2023

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from paragraph 1 of the orders of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Mortimer CJ, Katzmann, Charlesworth, Abraham and Kennett JJ) made on 22 November 2023.[1] The application has insufficient prospects of success to warrant a grant of special leave to appeal, and is not an appropriate vehicle to consider the issues of principle raised concerning s 10(1) of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 (Cth).

   [1]          Fisher v Commonwealth of Australia (No 2) [2023] FCAFC 181.

2. Special leave to appeal is refused with costs.
