On Apr. 22, Florida moved for a preliminary injunction in a lawsuit contesting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) October 2020 Conditional Sailing Order spelling out the conditions under which the country’s cruise industry may reopen amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. The motion explained that the order, which is in effect until Nov. 1, 2021, will cause the cruise industry to “miss out again on the critical summer cruising season.”
As previously reported, the complaint filed earlier this month argued that the Conditional Sailing Order falls outside the CDC’s authority, is arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), and is an unconstitutional exercise of lawmaking by the executive branch. In the present motion, the state explained why it is likely to succeed on the merits of its claims with arguments that largely echo those set forth in the complaint.
