Hagan v Australia

Hagan v Australia

Hagan v Australia (2003) was a complaint heard before the Committee on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination. Hagan, the complainant, objected to the naming of the "E.S. 'Nigger' Brown Stand" at a sports ground in Toowoomba, Queensland. Before bringing the action before the Committee, Hagan had unuccessfully pursued the case before the Federal Court of Australia in 2000, which dismissed his application without merit. The CERD Committee found that there was no express contravention of Article 4 of the CERD however, the committee considered that such a breach was occurring.
