A class-action lawsuit filed in New York City is seeking $2 billion in damages against Gov. Andrew Cuomo and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio over the indoor dining ban that still persists in the city even as the rest of the state has been allowed to resume the practice.
The lawsuit, filed late last month in the state Supreme Court on behalf of several hundred restaurants, argues that Cuomo and de Blasio have enforced “catastrophic” policies against New York City restaurants, continuing a ban on indoor dining there while restaurants throughout New York state have been allowed to re-open their dining rooms.
It further claims that Cuomo over the past several months has “issued stricter and confusing executive orders” even as the virus remained under control in the city and the state.
