Ruling for insurers, 9th Circuit says cause of closures ‘not debatable’
“There are now seven federal court of appeals decisions on COVID-19 business interruption claims, and every one rejects policyholders’ efforts to convert claims for purely economic losses into claims for physical loss or physical damage to covered property insured by a property insurance policy,” wrote Laura A. Foggan, a partner with Crowell & Moring LLP.
San Francisco retailer Mudpie Inc. is not entitled to any damages for business interruption from an insurance company over government-ordered closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled Friday.
The same panel also rejected appeals by a dental appliance manufacturer, Selane Products Inc., and a group of minor league baseball teams against their insurance companies in unpublished decisions.
