Hu v Stansure Strata Pty Ltd and Ors

The applicant, Ms. Hu, brought proceedings against Stansure Strata Pty Ltd and other respondents, alleging racial discrimination in relation to a residential dispute. The matter came before the Federal Court of Australia.

The primary legal issue before the Court was whether Ms. Hu had been discriminated against on the basis of her Asian ethnicity. This involved determining if there was sufficient evidence to establish racial motivation for the actions of the respondents. The Court also considered whether certain complaints should be struck out pursuant to s 46PO(3) of the *Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986* (Cth).

Judge Burnett found that there was no evidence presented by the applicant to demonstrate that racial motivation underpinned any of the alleged discriminatory conduct. Consequently, the application was dismissed. The Court also awarded costs to the respondents.
