BREAKING: The High Court has dismissed John Waters and Gemma O’Doherty’s challenge of coronavirus laws




The High Court has dismissed the legal challenge presented to it from investigative journalist Gemma O’Doherty and author John Waters.

The two had fronted a challenge to the State over its stringent lockdown restrictions and whether they were legally allowed in a Constitutional context or not.

Today, however, Judge Charles Meehan electronically dismissed the challenge citing no sworn affidavit or scientific facts.

Costs are to be decided at a later date as Gemma O’Doherty and John Waters can still appeal the verdict.
