A federal appeals court has revived a lawsuit against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) monthslong eviction moratorium, ruling that a lower court wrongly threw out the case.
Property owners challenging the moratorium—initially portrayed as temporary but ultimately remaining in place for nearly a year—adequately argued that the CDC’s moratorium amounted to a physical seizure of their rental properties, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit stated on Aug. 7.
