A Case Surge of a Different Kind – COVID-19’s Influence on the Law
Manage episode 337244495 series 3380407
2022 is shaping up to be a year where COVID-19 remains in the headlines. With a marked increase in community cases, more people being hospitalised with COVID and a booster rollout underway for adults, some big legal questions are being discussed, including:
– Will booster shots be able to be legally mandated by employers?
– Can an unvaccinated person be legally prevented entry to a business?, and
– Is anyone legally responsible if I catch COVID or suffer from its effects?
To help answer these questions and more, we were joined by distinguished academics Associate Professor Belinda Smith and Professor Barbara McDonald from Sydney Law School. Footnotes is a podcast created by the Sydney University Law Society; for students, by students, and available wherever you get your podcasts.
