Belgium Court rules Covid measures illegal and must be lifted
31st March: A Belgian court has ruled that the current government COVID-19 measures being deployed don’t have a sound legal basis. The State has 30 days to lift restrictions or face fines.
“The judge gave the Belgian State 30 days to provide a sound legal basis, or face a penalty of €5,000 per day that this period is exceeded, with a maximum limit of €200,000, reports Le Soir. (in French, see below for the English version))
The current coronavirus measures are based on the Civil Safety Act of 2007, which enables the State to react quickly in “exceptional circumstances,” but the judge has now ruled that these laws cannot serve as a basis for the Ministerial Decrees.”
This is a good thing that hopefully will calm down the unscientific hysteria and abuse of power too many people and businesses suffered in Belgium, but also across the continent and some parts of the world.
