Chapter 3: SUBSTANTIVE LAW
This Chapter 3 deals with questions of substantive law. Questions of practice and procedure are dealt with in Chapter 4.
Early on, the substantive law in respect of COVID-19 was primarily legislation made by the Legislature or by the Executive (under delegation from the Legislature). Courts and tribunals were required to consider the impact of COVID-19 only in proceedings that were capable of giving rise quickly to questions affected by it — primarily, procedural and interlocutory proceedings in civil jurisdiction; questions of bail and sentencing in criminal jurisdiction; and a range of parenting and child protection issues in family and children jurisdictions.
