Challenging the Covid Mandate Fines By Ian Wilson LL.B

The article from the Daily Mail.co.uk, had a headline that stated that a landmark case dealing with the legality of Covid mandate breaches, during New South Wales lockdown conditions could see nationwide challenges in other states.  Already over 33,000 NSW residents who were fined for Covid mandate breaches have had their fines withdrawn.  

So, what was the argument that did this, something pulled out of the constitution as freedom movement people always think is there waiting to be uncorked? No, the mundane reality of law is that cases like this usually dependent upon technicalities. In this case, the penalty notices did not meet the legislative requirements of section 20 of the Fines Act, and did not adequately characterise the offence; hence invalid. Whether this applies in other states will need to be tested state by state. Such is law in the real world.
