Public Health Law Watch and the George Consortium recently joined as signatories to an amicus brief filed in Matorin v. Commonwealth, et al. The case relates to the Commonwealth’s recent Moratorium on Evictions and Foreclosures During the COVID-19 Emergency, signed into law by the Governor on April 20, 2020. Amici support the Commonwealth’s position due to the impact stable housing has on public health and healthcare-related issues. Additionally, there has long been the precedent that an individual’s property rights can be superseded in cases where the public interest is at stake. With the COVID-19 emergency, public health should clearly be the goal of policy makers. Increased evictions will cause more COVID-19 cases. For these reasons, the Public Health Law Watch and George Consortium added their names to the signatories list for this amicus brief.
