Islam v Director-General, Justice and Community Safety Directorate

In the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory, Mr Islam sought a declaration that the Director-General of the Justice and Community Safety Directorate had breached the Corrections Management Act 2007 (ACT) and the Human Rights Act 2004 (ACT) in relation to disciplinary action taken against him. Kennett J held that the decision to impose disciplinary action against Mr Islam was affected by jurisdictional error and declared that the decision was beyond power. The Court dismissed Mr Islam's claim under the Human Rights Act as it found that the disciplinary action did not infringe on his human rights. The Court made no order as to costs.
