CHAIRMAN: General Background 1 I can state that the Tribunal has reached a decision. At this stage the terms of that decision have not been reduced to writing, so I will need to read the decision from my notes, and the transcript will record those details. The parties will have access to that transcript when it is available.

2 This is an inquiry that results from a reference to the Tribunal by the President of the Anti-Discrimination Board under section 94(1) of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1977 N S W, "the Act". That reference was made to the Tribunal on 22 April 1998 on the ground of sex in employment and victimisation.
