While the governor is arguing in legal filings the challenge a restaurant has against his COVID-19 orders is moot because there’s no current indoor dining ban, an attorney says the issue goes deeper than that.
A status hearing in Sangamon County Court Wednesday will take up the latest filings in the case Geneva-based restaurant FoxFire has against Gov. J.B. Pritzker. Pritzker wants the judge to reconsider her ruling allowing the case to proceed. If not, he’s seeking an immediate appeal.
FoxFire attorney Greg Earl with Myers Earl and Nelson said they will argue the case all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court.
