The pandemic and public law

From Nine To Noon, 11:50 am on 22 July 2020

Law correspondent Dr Dean Knight looks at how legal issues and challenges that arose over the lockdown haven't gone away, next week the High Court will hear the legal challenge to level 3 and 4 lockdown. He'll also talk about the legal authority for border quarantine and how a proposal to charge people for hotel and food costs butts up against an important human right. Dr Dean Knight is Associate Professor, Faculty of Law and NZ Centre for Public Law, Victoria University of Wellington.
