Federal Judge Tosses Business Interruption Claim, Rejecting Argument That COVID Caused 'Damage' Necessitating 'Repairs'
“Although Plaintiff clearly has attempted to plead around these rulings by alleging damage and consequential repairs, the only ‘damage’ the complaint specifically describes is the presence of viral particles on surfaces, and the only ‘repairs’ described are the cleaning (specialized as it was) of Amphenol facilities, the installation of additional barriers and workspaces, and the replacement of HVAC units and filters,” the court said.
