UK Human Rights Blog:
This blog is a continuous source of excellent commentary on legal development. For example - see the recent posts on
Challenge to legality of lockdown succeeds in New Zealand - the first nine days of New Zealand lockdown were unlawful ... While there is no question that
the requirement was a necessary, reasonable and proportionate response
to the Covid-19 crisis at the time, the requirement was not prescribed
by law and was therefore contrary to section 5 of the New Zealand Bill
of Rights Act.
