NZTSOS update

The NZTSOS application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of New Zealand has been dismissed.

NZTSOS sought to appeal the previous High Court and Court of Appeal judgments that the order made under the COVID-19 Public Health Act 2020 prohibiting education workers from carrying out work unless they were “vaccinated”, remained proportionate and demonstrably justified prior to mid-February 2022.

Leave for appeal was dismissed on the basis that the court was not persuaded that the appeal raises a “question of general or public importance.”

The fact that it is now two years since the mandates have been removed has influenced their decision.

Spokesperson Mike Shaw says,“It is especially disappointing that the Supreme Court was not persuaded that our application for appeal raised questions of general or public importance, and that they assessed this against the fact that it is now over two years since the mandate order was removed.

We believe this fails to appreciate the many who continue to suffer from having their careers destroyed.”
