Federal Discrimination Law: Foreword by Catherine Branson QC
Legal
Foreword
The Hon. Catherine Branson QC
President
I am pleased to present, on behalf of the Australian Human Rights Commission, FDL Online: the online version of Federal Discrimination Law.
Federal Discrimination Law is produced by the Commission's Legal Section and examines the significant issues that have arisen in federal unlawful discrimination cases. It provides a comprehensive coverage of decisions in the jurisdiction as well as highlighting a range of relevant issues of practice and procedure.
FDL Online provides a quarterly updated version of Federal Discrimination Law, with the date of currency reflected on the title page. It can also be downloaded as a word document and in PDF format.
Discrimination law remains a challenging and, regrettably, complex area of law. We hope that Federal Discrimination Law and FDL Online provide a useful resource for legal practitioners and members of the public with an interest in the field.
It is vital that information and resources are available to enable people to understand and enforce their rights effectively under an individual complaint-based system. The Australian Human Rights Commission hopes that this publication can play such a role and thereby help protect the rights of Australians.
The Hon. Catherine Branson QC
President
