COVID-19 is the most severe pandemic the world has experienced in a
century. This book analyses major legal and regulatory responses
internationally to COVID-19, and the impact the pandemic has had on
human rights and freedoms, governance, the obligations of states
and individuals, as well the role of the World Health Organization
and other international bodies during this time. The authors
examine notable legal challenges to public health measures enforced
during the pandemic, such as lockdown orders, curfews, and vaccine
mandates. Importantly, the book contextualizes the legal analysis
by examining the broader social and economic dimensions of risks
posed by the pandemic. The book considers how COVID-19 impacted the
operation of the criminal justice system, civil litigation
concerning negligently caused deaths and business losses arising
from contractual breaches, consumer protection litigation,
disciplinary regulation of health practitioners, coronial inquests
and other investigations of unexpected deaths, and occupational
health and safety issues. The book reflects on the role of the law
in facilitating the remarkable scientific and epidemiological
achievements during the pandemic, but also the challenges of
ensuring the swift production and equitable distribution of
treatments and vaccines. It concludes by considering the
possibilities that the legal and regulatory responses to this
pandemic have illuminated for effectively tackling future global
health crises.
