FISHER

v

COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA & ORS

[2024] HCASL 58
M59/2023

1. The applicant seeks special leave to appeal from paragraphs 1(2) and 1(3) of the orders of the Full Court of the Federal Court of Australia (Mortimer CJ, Katzmann, Charlesworth, Abraham and Kennett JJ) made on 12 July 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 [2023] FCAFC 106.
