John Halley

judge Australia

John Halley is an Australian federal court judge who gained attention for his ruling in a high-profile case involving five Australian women who alleged they were subjected to invasive physical examinations by Qatari authorities after being forcibly removed from a Qatar Airways flight in 2020. His initial decision dismissed the airline's liability, stating that its employees could not influence the actions of Qatari police, which was later appealed and resulted in a ruling that allowed the women to pursue their claims against the airline directly.
