Kirunda v New South Wales Police

Kirunda (the applicant) brought proceedings against the New South Wales Police (the respondent) alleging racial discrimination. The applicant sought various orders, including reinstatement of proceedings, setting aside of a costs order, an extension of time to object to a costs assessment, and an adjournment of proceedings.

The primary legal issue before the court was whether the applicant's application alleging racial discrimination had reasonable prospects of success. The court also considered the applicant's various procedural applications.

Judge Nicholls found that the applicant's application alleging racial discrimination had no reasonable prospects of success. The court reasoned that the applicant had failed to provide any evidence to support the claim of racial discrimination. Consequently, all of the applicant's procedural applications were refused.
