A federal judge ruled Thursday that Allegheny County may proceed with legal action against a Brentwood restaurant defying covid-19 mitigation orders despite a pending bankruptcy action.
The county health department ordered the Crack’d Egg to close in August for failing to follow universal masking and social distancing measures. However, restaurant owner Kimberly Waigand flouted the order and continued to operate.
In September, attorneys for Allegheny County filed an action against the restaurant for the ongoing violations, but it was automatically stayed when Waigand filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October.
