Series: Law, Society, Policy

This is the first book to address a wide variety of legal responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and their impacts on areas of practice.

The effects of COVID-19 are visited disproportionately on the already disadvantaged. This important text maps out ways in which those already disadvantaged have been affected by legal responses to COVID-19. Contributors tackle issues including virtual trials, adult social care, racism, tax and spending, education and more. They reflect on the implications of COVID-19, express concerns with policy and practice developments and the neutral version of the law and the economy which has taken root. Drawing on diverse resources, this text offers an account of the damage caused by legal responses to the pandemic and demonstrates how the future response can be positive and productive.

Reviews for Pandemic Legalities: Legal Responses to COVID-19 – Justice and Social Responsibility

""A very timely collection by some very distinguished socio-legal scholars about the impact of COVID-19 on individuals and institutions in the UK - an excellent resource for those who wish to think seriously about the policies that should be promoted when the pandemic is over."" Michael Adler, University of Edinburgh ""The pandemic has required governments in most jurisdictions to introduce emergency powers to restrict freedom of association and freedom of movement. These are key civil rights and the social contract with the public must always be that such restrictions should be time limited, proportionate and have democratic oversight. Alas, in too many places, governments have used the pandemic as cover to expand their power and erode human rights. This book is a wake up call on the way law is misused in periods of crisis to the detriment of citizens the world over."" Baroness Helena Kennedy QC
