In the case of KWB Enter. Inc., v. Nationwide Gen. Ins. Co., 2:20-CV-05195-MSG (E.D. Pa. Jan. 31, 2022 Goldberg, J.), the court granted a Defendant insurance company’s Motion to Dismiss a restaurant’s claims for alleged losses allegedly arising from COVID-19 closure, as well as the alleged public perception of restaurants as dangerous due to COVID-19.
In so ruling, the Court found that the Plaintiff’s “business income,” claim failed because the Plaintiff’s claims were inconsistent with the modifiers “direct,” “physical,” and “of Covered Property” as listed in the insurance policy.
The court additionally found that the Plaintiff’s “civil authority” and “reasonable expectation” arguments failed to support any finding of coverage as well.
