Strip-search court win exposes NSW government to massive payout
For Raya Meredith, joining Splendor at Grass in 2018 had to be exciting and fun. Instead, it was “sad and traumatized” as a result of the peeling by the police before passing through the doors.
It was a 30 -minute “scary” ordeal. After being approached by an officer with a 27 -year -old, a Sniffer dog at the time, a female police officer told him to pull the top, take off his shorts and remove his underwear, remove buffer and bend. This came in without a male police officer was shot. No medicine was found.
In 2022, he became the chief plaintiff in a 3000 -member class action at the NSW Supreme Court. At the music festivals led by Redfern Law Center and Slater and Gordon lawyers, police challenges the legacy of police lane research.

On Tuesday, in a turning point in which the NSW government has paved the way for the illegal lane to pay millions of dollars, justice gave 93,000 dollars for the attack on Dina Yehia Meredith, battery and fake imprisonment and heavy damages. It will also receive an example or punishing damage that has not yet been calculated.
The judge, Meredith’s rights and privacy, said that “ugly” was ignored and that it was a “gross failure” to comply with legal guarantees.

The NSW law enforcement officers (authority and responsibilities) Law (Lepra) says that an officer “an officer is required to be necessary for the seriousness and urgency of the“ Strip-Search’s exploration purposes and the conditions. Yehia found that these prerequisites were not satisfied with Meredith.
William Zerno from Gordon, on Tuesday, called William Zerno outside the court, was the largest class action against any police force in the history of Australia, and he called on a settlement for the plaintiffs of the remaining government to terminate this embarrassing part ”.
Because this decision has a large comprehensive effects that have potentially affect thousands of lane research between 2016-2019, the NSW policeman’s music festival participants claim that the lane research was the “routine issue ve and that it developed a“ application or pattern without legal justification. This year, in a surprise development, NSW confessed that Meredith’s lane research was illegal, but rejected the wider claims of illegal behaviors.
