PROJECT C: THE LEGAL SYSTEM PROJECT

Aim: to identify and document all cases arising within the Australian legal system involving allegations of genetic discrimination, whether or not pursued to final hearing, and to investigate the nature and circumstances of such cases and their outcomes and the features of the legal mechanisms followed.

Method: a national survey will be conducted of all anti-discrimination tribunals, anti-discrimination commissioners, industrial tribunals (with jurisdiction to deal with discrimination arising within the employment relationship), and ombudsman.
