I've noticed that a lot of people are driving just to get out of the house. Hopefully auto repair shops are able to stay open if they choose. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have family at home that you're worried about infecting, then don't work. If you have a young family that you need to provide for, then you might need to. Just wash your hands. A lot.

I'd be less worried about the virus and more worried about the rude shoppers out there. Not to downplay the seriousness of the virus but holy moly, people out there are so awful right now.

MWil23 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Our County recorder office is closed and we are almost done building our house. I’m in a rental and we are supposed to move in a month. Now what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles the day before the shelter in place was enacted. Ended up having to come to my parents house in another part of Southern California. Both of my businesses had to cease operation because the majority of our clients are closed for the time being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwAg Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 3 hours ago, Outpost31 said: To all the lawyers out there, hypothetically speaking, if my boss decided to close the hotel due to this Coronavirus and the franchise threatened to keep us closed for months or years, what kind of lawsuit would that open up? I don’t have all the details, just that she said the franchise said that would happen essentially. Apparently they’re being complete Butkuses to the independently owned hotels under their banner. Really upsetting a lot of owners. In the interest of giving you a rough idea, I can answer generally, but this is in no way legal advice. None of us will be able to answer effectively without more details. But, it will depend upon their action and basis for the action. Plus, who you are influences what claims you can bring due to standing requirements. I imagine that they’re relying upon a contract provision, which means most of the claims are going to be related to enforcement of the contract and related tort claims that may stem from it, such as tortious interference of contract. So, they’re going to be pointing toward an interpretation that allows them to do that, and the lawsuit that followed would be for breach of contract based on their interpretation, arguing a different interpretation, and seeking enforcement on that interpretation. Plus, an injunction while the case is decided to mitigate damages and prevent deprivation of the contract’s benefit. From that point, you can progress into even murkier waters depending on the circumstance. It could get into the NLRA or applicable state law, and then it will progress to a choice of law inquiry if there are varying jurisdictions, which there could be since you mentioned independent hotels under a unitary brand. Prototypical lawyer response: it depends, but the contract enforcement angle is most likely, and then attorneys will throw in state law if it’s even remotely close to applicable. Affected Unions would have more options and mechanisms on the labor front, but Unions are weakened at the moment, but they’ll be back in a couple years.
