A judge has ordered Calvary Chapel San Jose to pay $1.2 million in fines for violating Santa Clara County’s public health order.
Wednesday's ruling focused on mask-wearing during the peak of the pandemic, which reduced the original fine from $2.8 million to over $1.2 million.
According to Williams, the county’s health orders and their enforcement resulted in one of the lowest death rates in the U.S. “When I saw the opinion, I didn't break a sweat at all. I know where the Supreme Court stands on these issues. We've already won at the Sixth Appellate District two times,” she said.
The District Court of Appeal cited the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that decided banning indoor worship services in counties where COVID-19 was surging violated freedom of religion. That same month, the Supreme Court decided not to hear a petition from the county hoping to challenge the court of appeals ruling.Gondeiro added that the next step is to file a motion for reconsideration and/or appeal the case at the Court of Appeals.
