Du schreibst er hatte entsprechende Anwaltskosten. Gab es denn eine richterliche Entscheidung zu dem Fall? Es wäre ja interessant zu sehen was die Justiz dazu sagt.
Es gab keine richterliche Entscheidung, der Fall wurde ohne Urteil beigelegt.
Settling the case at mediation, ahead of its October court date, the now-relieved barber posted:“There has been media attention recently in relation to a sex discrimination claim instituted against me for declining to provide services to a girl who entered my barber shop.
“Regrettably, there was a misunderstanding between the parties.
“I am happy to say that the proceedings have now been resolved.”
Mr Rahim went on to say that “the girl is welcome in my barber shop any time and would be happy to provide the same service to her as I do for other customers, regardless of gender”.
The barber said he was “mentally tired and exhausted” over the incident which took place in his shop back in December 2017.
At the time, Mr Rahim said he offered the woman,
who works for a Sydney law firm (
), an apology and explained he was not qualified to cut women’s hair.
He tried to direct her to a salon up the road, but she stormed out in anger.
“We do welcome women; they are welcome to come. But it depends on my experience and if I can cut their hair or not,” Mr Rahim told news.com.au.
“I tell them I am not qualified, that I am not really good with females’ hair and they thank me when I point them to the salon near us.
“Unfortunately this lady wanted to take me to court.”

Mr Rahim said he could not change the law in Australia and, in future, if a male, female, transgender — or any gender — client came into his barber shop and would like a buzz cut, (a cut within his capabilities) “it would be against the law to say ‘no’”.
“These are the current laws in Australia and, at the moment, barbers have no exemptions like women-only gyms,” he said.

Einige sind wohl immer etwas gleichberechtigter als die anderen. Und jetzt kriegt sie also ihren Haarschnitt. Hurra. Übrigens:
News.com.au reached out to the mum who made the original complaint but a response was not received.

Das ist offenbar typisch für diese Kreise.
