Your opening statement defines it perfectly, case law, precedent. It's not what a lawyer thinks is reasonable either and certainly not the office girl.
To keep it simple, laws are made by our elected members in parliament, when interpretation of that is needed the Judiciary. To make a company direction in the form of a mandate, would leave the employee believing "I must comply" that direction therefore is misleading, not reasonable and doomed to fail.
I won't be saying anymore about this matter and to be clear this is about
the Company Mandate, not the C-19 vaccine
