An attorney has filed legal claims against the state of California on behalf of restaurants throughout the state that have been required to pay permit fees despite mandated closures and limited capacities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brian Kabateck is the attorney filing the claims on behalf of restaurants in Orange, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Monterey counties. He told The Epoch Times that a class-action lawsuit against the state will likely result from the filings and that he is seeking to recover more than $100 million in fees on behalf of all restaurants in California.
