About this case
A group of primary school students were due to travel to NZ to enjoy a term at a Primary school. Unfortunately, due to border closures and the subsequent lockdown, the students were unable to travel. Parents and agents of the students contacted the school and enquired about receiving a refund due to the students being unable to attend. The school’s response was not acceptable to many of the parents.
