Grounded Kiwis - a group of New Zealand citizens overseas who are struggling to get into MIQ - have launched legal action against the government over the MIQ system.
Public law specialist Paul Radich QC is taking the case. He says they are asking the court to declare that the order that is in place, and the practical systems that operate through the MIQ website, are in breach of the Bill of Rights.
Under section 18 of the Bill of Rights Act, every New Zealander has the right to enter the country.
Radich told Checkpoint while the group accepts quarantine is necessary, their real concern is the limited number of hotel rooms available.
