The owner of a kickboxing
studio in Sussex County is suing Gov. Phil Murphy for damages over the forced
shutdown of her business, beginning in March.
The seven-page complaint
claims the governor’s executive orders in response to COVID-19 closing gyms,
restaurants and other businesses broke the law by taking control of private
property without compensating its owners.
The suit doesn't state a
dollar amount. Darlene Pallay operates her gym under the name CKO Kickboxing.
The governor's office did not
immediately comment.
A federal judge ruled a
couple of weeks ago Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf's COVID-19 lockdowns on
businesses were unconstitutional.
