Zenor & Kuehner Succeed in Dismissing a Claim for Business Interruption Coverage

On May 12, 2020, plaintiffs sued Illinois Casualty Company in federal court following a denial of coverage for alleged business income losses following Governor Reynolds’s proclamation for shutdowns as a result of COVID-19. Adam Zenor and Michael Kuehner answered the suit on behalf of Illinois Casualty Company and immediately moved for dismissal pursuant to Rule 12(c) and for entry of declaratory judgment. Plaintiffs resisted. The federal district court granted the motion, dismissing all claims against Illinois Casualty Company and granting it declaratory judgment. Plaintiffs have appealed.
