Justice Elizabeth Raper rejected claims of legal immunity, finding a domestic worker in his direct household employment was covered by Australian employment laws.

Already a subscriber?India’s former high commissioner to Australia has been ordered to pay a $97,200 fine for domestic worker wage theft for a staffer found working in “slave-like” conditions in his Canberra home.

The fine was the maximum allowed and was in part imposed because Mr Suri failed to comply with the previous back pay orders or co-operate with the court process. She was paid less than $10 per day, which was transferred to an Indian account created by Mr Suri that she could not access, and was never paid overtime or given breaks, leave entitlements or penalty rates.
