A solicitor told a Muslim woman she could 'return to Afghanistan to educate the Taliban on terrorism' at a function, a tribunal was told.
Victor Stockinger, 61, allegedly made a series of 'racially, ethically, and religiously motivated' remarks at the event held at the High Court in 2019.
The New Zealand-born lawyer had asked several women at the event if their male partners 'paid towards their lifestyle', the Solicitors' Disiplinary Tribunal heard.
He had allegedly said at the function held by the the Solicitors' Association of High Court Advocates: 'The definition of a successful woman is on that can afford to spend anything she likes, the definition of a successful man is one who can afford such a woman.'
Stockinger also told a solicitor from Zaire that her French must be worse than her Gujarati and Hindi due to her Asian heritage, it was said.
