The Civil High Court of Suva will deliver its ruling on notice for an application to strike out former Top Manager of Hot Bread Kitchen, John Samisoni’s Constitutional Redress.
Samisoni has filed a lawsuit against his mother’s business Hot Bread Kitchen after he was fired for refusing to be vaccinated against the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Samisoni is seeking a declaration that Regulations 52 (C) and 52 (D) of the Health and Safety at Work (General Workplace Conditions) (Amendment) Regulations 2021 contravenes Sections 11 (3) and 26 (3) (a) of the Fijian Constitution.
He contends that his dismissal for refusing to receive the first dose of the vaccine by August 1, 2021, contravenes his right to freedom from scientific or medical treatment or procedures without his informed consent.
