CaseChat Overview and Summary

The matter of James William Durston v Anti-Discrimination Tribunal was heard in the Supreme Court of Tasmania. The applicant, James William Durston, sought judicial review of a decision by the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal. The Tribunal had dismissed Durston's application for review of a decision made by the Tasmanian Equal Opportunity Tribunal, which had determined that Durston had contravened the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998 by subjecting an employee to sexual harassment. The primary legal issue before the court was whether the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal had erred in law by dismissing Durston's application for review of the decision of the Tasmanian Equal Opportunity Tribunal.

Justice Wood of the Supreme Court held that the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal had not erred in dismissing Durston's application for review. The court found that the Tribunal had properly exercised its discretion under section 48(1) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1998 in dismissing the application for review. The court held that the Tribunal's decision was not flawed by any error of law, and that Durston had not established that the Tribunal had made an error of fact that was reviewable by the Supreme Court.

The court dismissed the applicant's appeal and affirmed the decision of the Anti-Discrimination Tribunal. The court did not make any orders as to costs.
