Maryland’s second-highest court ruled Tuesday, May 24th, that an insurance policy’s standard coverage for lost business due to property damage does not apply to a restaurant’s loss of revenue when Gov. Larry Hogan ordered eateries closed to in-house dining in 2020 in an attempt to halt the spread of COVID-19. Dozens of other state and federal courts have uniformly ruled the provision of property damage policies do not cover pandemic-related revenue loss.
