Judgment Just In:

The Court of Appeal has dismissed an appeal challenging the validity of three Public Health Orders, made by the Minister for Health and Medical Research under s 7(2) of the Public Health Act 2010 (NSW). The three impugned Public Health Orders had the effect of conditioning certain persons’ freedom of movement to travel to their workplaces upon them having received at least one dose of an approved COVID-19 vaccine or having been issued with a medical contraindication certificate. The Court held that the Public Health Orders were validly made and that they did not infringe the principle of legality or impair various asserted fundamental rights.
