Kanapathy v In De Braekt & Anor (No. 2)

The case of Kanapathy v In De Braekt & Anor (No. 2) was heard in the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. The applicant, Kanapathy, sought enforcement of a previous order against the first respondent, In De Braekt, for unlawful discrimination based on race. Additionally, the applicant sought to amend their name and questioned the propriety of the application due to the current applicant's standing. The second respondent raised procedural concerns regarding service of documents and costs.

The court had to determine whether the applicant had the proper standing to pursue the enforcement of the previous order and the amendment of their name. Furthermore, the court needed to address the respondents' contentions about the service of documents and the associated costs.

The court ruled that the time for compliance with the previous order would be extended to the date of the hearing. Regarding service, it was ordered that all future documents be served via facsimile and email to specified numbers and addresses. The court also set timelines for the parties to file and serve their submissions on the proper applicant issue and the amendment of the applicant's name. These applications were scheduled for a hearing alongside the costs issue, which was reserved for the same date.

The court's final orders included extensions for compliance with previous orders, specified methods for serving documents, timelines for submissions on the proper applicant and name amendment issues, and a reservation of the costs issue for a later hearing.
