Australasian Business Intelligence, August, 2006

Aug 07, 2006 (Discrimination Alert - ABIX via COMTEX) -- The Federal Court of Australia has heard "Sheikholeslami v Brungs & Ors". The Court rejected the applicant's claim to have suffered distress, loss of opportunity for advancement, discrimination and defamation at the University of New South Wales. The Court held that the woman's "deliberate non-cooperation" constituted "oppressive conduct" and ordered her to cover the University's indemnity costs. Justice Brian Tamberlin noted that the applicant provided the Court with a "mass of unlinked material", at one time lodging 10,000 documents via a locked PDF.
