The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has decided against using its King’s Bench powers to resolve a dispute over whether insurance carriers must provide coverage for business interruptions that companies suffer as a result of the COVID-19-related shutdowns.

On Thursday, the justices issued a per curiam order denying the petition filed in the lawsuit, captioned Tambellini v. Erie Insurance. The case had given the high court the opportunity to invoke its plenary jurisdiction and wade into the question of what insurance coverage may be available as thousands of businesses across the state face lengthy business interruptions as a result of Gov. Tom Wolf’s mandated statewide closures imposed to stem the spread of the coronavirus.
