'A legal challenge questioning the lawfulness of the Government's Covid-19 vaccination mandate for educators and health workers has failed in the High Court.'

'The group claimed the vaccination mandate is not a "demonstrably justified" breach of the Bill of Rights, namely the right to decline medical treatment.

But in a reserved decision released today, Wellington High Court Justice Francis Cooke determined that the mandates were lawful - deemed a demonstrably justified limit on the right to refuse medical treatment when they were imposed.'
