The court says a church that defied safety regulations during the pandemic by holding large services won’t have to pay about $200,000 in fines.
“We’re very pleased that the 6th District’s decision has been depublished,” said Santa Clara County Counsel James Williams. “It validates our concerns that it was a legally erroneous decision.”“We are pleased the California Supreme Court chose not to take up the matter,” Gondeiro said. “We are very confident in a federal lawsuit where we seek to hold the county accountable for their unconstitutional public health orders.
And Santa Clara County’s core case against Calvary Chapel also remains pending in state court, Williams said.New hospitalizations have tripled in the last month. A new mask order is possible in the coming weeks if hospitalization metrics worsen. By depublishing the 6th District’s opinion Wednesday, the state Supreme Court basically said the lower appellate court came to the wrong conclusion, but the high court was not going to take up the case and wade into the matter, Williams said.
