The Court has found the Direction to be of no effect, and has ordered that no workers be forced to comply with the vaccination policy. Dr Christopher Ward SC of 6 St James Hall Chambers appeared for Mr Witthahn and other health workers in the proceedings, leading Phillip Santucci and Kathleen Morris.
