Even as some jurisdictions are easing the restrictions, here is the latest coronavirus-related complaint asserting a taking. This one was filed in an Illinois federal court, and joins an ever-growing list of similar claims (see here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here).
The complaint is a "pure" takings claim -- it doesn't challenge the authority of the governor to shut things down, nor does it challenge the "readily-apparent public purpose" of the action. See Complaint at 5, ¶ 10.
The remedies sought? "WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs request that the Court declare the action of the State a taking of private property for public benefit, and order the determination of Just Compensation to the Plaintiffs by a jury pursuant to Illinois Law, and all other appropriate relief." Complaint at 10.
We wrote down our thoughts on these type of claims in this piece: "Evaluating Emergency Takings: Flattening The Economic Curve."
