Courts Continue to Analyze How COVID-19 Orders Affect Private Party Rights
“Three recent decisions demonstrate how the legal landscape continues rapidly to change and evolve in response to COVID-19. These decisions highlight certain developing uncertainties in the law, including the impact of COVID-19-related executive and administrative orders on the rights of private parties,” report Jonathan P. Wolfert, Eddy Salcedo, Owen R. Wolfe, and Sarah Fedner in Seyfarth’s News & Insights.
The takeaways from these recent decisions are that “These decisions reflect the importance of staying up to date not only on various executive and administrative COVID-19 orders and anticipating the effects of those orders on pending litigation, but also Court decisions interpreting such orders or otherwise dealing with the effects of COVID-19. The legal landscape will continue to be affected as courts grapple with the continuing fallout from the pandemic.”
