Outdoor Dining

An appeals court in California overturned a ruling that blocked LA County’s ban on outdoor dining, finding that courts should be “extremely differential to public health authorities, particularly during a pandemic.” The county recently lifted its prohibition on outdoor dining, but as conditions may change and the ban may be reimposed, the court ruled the consolidated cases are not moot.
