The Court granted conditional interim reinstatement under s 46PP of the Australian Human Rights Commission Act 1986 (Cth), holding that the applicant's disability discrimination complaints were sufficiently meritorious and reasonably arguable where it was arguable that a contributing reason for dismissal was the applicant's inability to perform duties due to a disability caused by workplace bullying. The reinstatement was made conditional on the applicant taking all reasonable steps to expedite the AHRC complaint process, with liberty to the respondent to apply for discharge if that condition was not met. The Court declined to order continued access to the applicant's emails and electronic records, though noted that unreasonable denial of copies could affect the respondent's ability to exercise its liberty to apply.
