Gellel v GIO General Ltd [2012] NSWADT 134

None of Ms Gellel's complaints met the statutory definitions or evidentiary requirements for sexual harassment, sex discrimination, or disability discrimination; the conduct complained of was not of a sexual nature, and there was no evidence of less favourable treatment because of sex or disability. It was fair and just to refuse leave for the complaints to proceed.
