Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether a pandemic-related mandate case becomes moot when the mandate is lifted, or remains justiciable due to the ongoing pandemic and plaintiffs' lack of opportunity to fully litigate

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1) During these last few years with the Covid-19 pandemic, government agencies and large corporations took advantage of the people and instated various mandates, rules, and regulations that were not constitutional, legal, and/or violated various laws. Many courts dragged their feet, and now at this point, the courts are mostly trying to dismiss the cases as moot. There are some recent Supreme Court cases showing that these are not moot, and the various circuit courts are each taking sides as to the mootness. Question: If the Government and/or corporation ceases to require a pandemic mandate does a complaint for injunction become MOOT, or since the pandemic still exists, other pandemics are being predicted, and Plaintiffs were not given sufficient time to litigate, the cases are NOT MOOT? 2) Under 42 U.S.C. §§ 1985 and 1986, the intra-corporate conspiracy doctrine provides that “an entity cannot conspire with one who acts as its agent.” Gen. Refractories Co. v. Fireman’s Fund Ins. Co., 337 F.3d 297, 313 (3d Cir. 2003). Question: If the corporation states that it does not approve of the employees’ actions, does the intra-corporate conspiracy doctrine still protect them from these conspiracy statutes? “ , . 3
